The Nats - A Novel

Peter is an aging, balding claims adjustor whose life is falling apart around him. At work, he spends his time following his team - the Washington Nationals - in their quest to be relevant, reading online baseball chats and finding more and more ways to pass his work off. At home, he and his wife no longer really talk at all, which is for the best because he's usually drunk and she's usually angry, and he hasn't talked to his kids in a long time either. Not that they are much fun to talk to...
