Is the success of the Washington Nationals killing the bottom line for local Papa John's franchises? The Washingtonian investigates how the pizza chain is dealing with people cashing in on an offer of 50 percent off when the Nats win by five runs or more.

We add more delivery guys." [Washingtonian]
