Washington Wonders
Mood:  energetic
Now Playing: Better than ever
Topic: Sports Page
Some guy throws out the first pitch for the Washington Nationals in their first home game. Who was that guy? Anyway he had a big script "W" on his hat, so he must have been a Nats fan. People kept calling him "W", and treating him like the President. Must be President of the Nats fan club. Makes sense.

In a nice touch, the first players to represent Washington in 34 years, trotted out to take their places in the field. There to greet them were the last nine officeholders at their respective positions... who then handed them their gloves. Not a dry eye in the joint. When we last left our team they were laboring away in Montreal as the Expos, and were expected to hold down last place in the National League. Apparently, they didn't get the memo, since they've been playing like Nationals was their last name. On Monday, they went into a night game against the Forida Marlins with a one and a half game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the NL East. Way to go, Nats!
