go nats!

well, i realized i hadn't posted in a week and what a week it's been for me. you see, i've really gotten into following the washington nationals (formerly the montreal expos, now our beloved local major league baseball team) and the team was only expected to win say 3 of its first 9 games as they were all on the road. however, those plucky players went out and went 5-4 against the best teams in our division! sure when they lost they were pretty much blown out of the water, but when they kept it close, they gave themselves a chance. now tonite is opening nite, a very historic occasion for our lil town and metropolitan area (of nearly 6 million not including baltimore et al. up the road), dubya is throwing out the first pitch, and hopefully the players will be amped and the az d-backs will be slacking.
