Bryce Harper vs Jonathan Papelbon: querelle en page couverture

Je dépose rarement ce type d'entrée sur mon carnet web, mais lorsque le Washington post place l'incident sur sa page couverture, je me laisse tenter. La photo qui coiffe ce billet illustre bien l'expression "choker" ou étouffer sous la pression... Les attentes étaient très élevées pour les Nationals et la dégringolade est particulièrement difficile à digérer.

 "Now the 2015 Nationals take their place in a dark D.C. corner with the 2000 Redskins, who boasted of their Super Bowl chances after signing future Hall of Famers Deion Sanders and Bruce Smith. Also in that dunce-cap row sit the 2009-10 Presidents’ Trophy-winning Capitals, who lost in the first round of the playoffs to the team with the 16th-best point total in the NHL in the regular season."
