My Lenten penance so far this year has been to listen to the spring training games of the Washington Nationals. I follow this team because they used to be the Montreal Expos, and I was living in Montreal when that franchise began playing, back at Jarry Park. I have hardly ever been in Washington, and have never seen a Nationals game live, but they are my team.
And this spring they have started off with 11 straight losses, following the tradition of the last two full seasons when they have lost more than 100 games each time.
Ah, but now, today, they played two split-squad games and won both of them. Will I have to root for single-payer health-care reform from now on?
