We put the "spring" in Springfield

I am so ready for spring. Days like today (well, the afternoon, anyway) are my favorite of the year: beautiful weather, no pollen. Plus, they put me in the baseball mood. Is Opening Day here yet?

The Nationals have been doing surprisingly well at spring training. They've actually won four of their last five games! I'm not sure what to think yet- obviously one can't predict how a team is going to do based on the preseason. (Then again, there are teams like the 2006 Redskins whose preseason accurately showed how the team would do that year.) I'm glad that the Nats are supposed to be this year's Kansas City Royals; when expectations are low, you're never disappointed. Plus, it makes it easier to move around and sit anywhere in the stadium. Losing does get annoying after a while. As long as it's not like Homer Simpson's team...

Lenny: Homer, last year we were 2 and 28.
Homer: Look, I know it wasn't our best season...
Lenny: Actually, it was.
