By Thomas Carannante
Color the baseball world shocked. The Washington Nationals just became the first team in MLB history to win a World Series and defeat their opponent in all four road games, much to the dismay of Houston Astros fans.
But guess what? Astros fans don't even have it that bad right now compared to former National Bryce Harper, who is getting destroyed on Twitter.

There's absolutely no way he lives that down.
It's gotta be tough watching your former teammates celebrating an epic World Series run.

Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto sure made him an afterthought, didn't they?

Speaking of Soto, think this is how he'll answer the congratulatory phone call from Harper?
Bryce Harper : hey congrats on bringing the championship to DC you guys earned it

... But there was NO RING.
Got 'em.
Remember when Harper was the young phenom who was supposed to lead the Nationals to a World Series title?

Seriously though, some counseling would go a long way.
Bryce Harper and DeMar DeRozan should start a support group.

One guy who's out of a lot of cash, however, is Houston superfan Mattress Mack. $20 mil in the hole...

While Washington DC celebrates, Harper is left wondering what could have been if he stayed with the Nats and Mattress Mack's fantastic gambling extravaganza ended up being one of the most disheartening storylines ever.
