But the hard hitting declines while pitching woes mount. Loss follows loss, interest declines, then comes word that the Wagners are transferring games, a lot of games, out of Washington. The uproar and consequent fan boycott causes the Wagners to panic and their attempts to shift the blame to others only makes the problem worse.
