NL East

The Philadelphia Phillies are officially the worst team in baseball following Saturday’s pair of losses to the Miami Marlins. With another defeat in Sunday’s season finale, Philadelphia would post its first 100-loss season since 1969.

Hey, not sure if you've heard, but 2015 has been a pretty lousy season for the Washington Nationals.

OK, that's an understatement. More like an "epically disappointing" season. Or "colossally horrendous." Or, well, you get the idea.

New York Mets first baseman Lucas Duda tied a franchise record during Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, joining Dave Kingman (1976) and Carlos Delgado (2008) as the only three players in franchise history to record seven multi-home run games in the same season, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Buckle up, fans of the New York Mets. Your team is about to take you on a World Series ride.

This wasn't supposed to happen. Not this year. Not this group. Not this manager. Anybody who tells you that he predicted back in March that the 2015 Mets would win the National League East is probably lying to your face. Even supposed Mets “homers” weren't allowing themselves to get caught up in any hype at the end of last winter.

Max Scherzer's expression tells the story of the Washington Nationals' 2015 season.

Just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse for the Nats—the biggest disappointment in baseball—they did. A lot worse.

Jonathan Papelbon made sure of that on Sunday, when the volatile closer incited a dugout brawl with Bryce Harper by trying to choke out the best player in the bigs.

Just when you thought the Washington Nationals couldn't sink any lower, there they go, plunging to new depths.
