Not much to report recently except that Tony Plush’s hand has been replaced by an indestructible cyborg appendage with bitch-slap action and Ryan Zimmerman is a saint.
Also, Nationals.com seems obsessed with convincing everyone that we should remain calm and all is well by posting numerous inspirational stories about how historically “winning” the franchise is and that we all have a lot to look forward to. It’s the sort of giddy-in-the-face-of misery sort of stuff that reeks of desperation and “please come watch our team.” It’s like Al Roker coming into the Emergency Room to announce, “Sorry, your parents were melted by acid.”
Enjoy this pre-game video for the Double-A Harrisburg Senators who played this before each game in 2009. It really makes you look forward to Spring again.
Well, maybe except that dancing old man. That was sort of creepy.

Really, I wish the Nationals would stop trying to cop to the history of either Montreal or either Senators team. It’s like the Baltimore Ravens trying to claim Johnny Unitas as their own (and really, same is true for the Indianapolis Colts).
For better or worse, this team’s history begins in 2005.
