I live near Washington, so I want to adopt them as my team to help baseball overall. But its futility.

You can't blame Washington on revenue disparity. They're in what should be a huge market -- large population with lots and lots of disposable income (Fairfax County is usually the wealthiest in the nation). MLB and the Nationals ownership have done exactly nothing right with that franchise, though. You might be able to blame Pittsburgh and Kansas City on revenue issues, but the Nats are screwed up on an entirely different level.
