The future is now. At least for a couple weeks, because I don't see Bryce in the Opening Day lineup just yet, but since Zim has scored his nice long contract this isn't going to be novelty for long.

Because I Can
Happy spring feelings continue as the weather gets warmer here in DC for a spell and the Nationals PR Dept was kind enough to post these on twitpic with handy HTML embedding codes attached. The water and the trees, Tyler Clippard and Brad Lidge, Wilson Ramos and Jesus Flores (the top of his head at least). I am a glass of lemonade away from contentment.

Pitchers and Catchers Report
"It's today! It's today!"
I feel like running around yelling that like the kid in the Stuart Little movie. (not usually a fan of mice sailing ships but Hugh Laurie is awesome in that)
So many have already reported early and the pictures, like this one make me giddy with springy anticipation! Drew and Clip and the backs of people's heads! The momentum that carried the fans and the team doesn't seem to have let up over the winter and now there are new pieces to fit into the system and I feel like as each new name that's announced to have arrived in Viera is like adding to a living baseball card collection- we've got Werth and the Zimmerman(n)s and Lidge and Lombardozzi and when will we get Ramos and Harper and Morse? The complete set should be in by Friday with a workout on Saturday.
Mark your favorite calendar for MASN's first TV broadcast on March 4 at 1:05pm vs. Houston.

Prediction
The Caps aren't making the playoffs.There will be one loss too many to make that final cut. Someone will be traded for a name that sounds good but won't be a fit and the season will sputter and cough away like an old Chevette. I loved that Mike Green returned and looks solid enough out on the ice, but I still have seen more team identity and synchronicity (that is a word and not just a Police song, right?) in pick-up games. I don't know any more. It still doesn't feel like it's Dale's team but if he's not going to stay around long enough to restyle them in his likeness, then this season is just an experiment.
