Time to clock-in
April, 2007 was a month-long rally waiting to happen. According to the record of 9 and 17, it didn't. On paper, May doesn't look a whole lot more promising. This is where I'm supposed to get all positive and Rudy, but that ain't gonna happen either.
In May, the Nats take on:
Padres
Cubbies
Brewers
Marlins
Braves
then the O's
Reds
Cards
Dodgers.
Cakewalk, right? In your beak. Everybody's better, but there are glints of light. Chicago should win all three games, but they won't. Soriano is sleep walking. Lou is suffering from over-expectations, and the team is coming off a 2 game streak against The Pirates. Meanwhile, nobody is expecting much from DC -except DC.

Bergman is on the mound today at Wrigley. Bergman will pitch poorly, because he's been too good lately. The defense will play well, because the have a shiny new Langerhans to impress and be impressed by. The big question is the bats. If the batting wakes up, the game goes to the DC.
As go the bats, so go the Nats.
May will define The Washinton Nationals 2007 Season. DC will either turn it on or mothball the season in May. Guzman will come back. Logan will come back. God, I wish I were in Chicago this afternoon.

If O'Reilly can wake up and shake off the slump after the Gordon incident in Toledo, the Wammers really have a shot at the nomination this year. The juicenuts out on the walkathon just need to give Dremel a little ass-slap to keep him from hydro-gliding into the third cycle. Then we'll all be jingling car keys in our LEFT pockets and hollering the cyclone chant. Come on, O'Reilly!
Mayonnaise mom to the banana patch. If not, send money. Solar panels go with plaid, but only when the elephants chortle. Chortle, chortle, chortle.
Keith, tell Lisa the thing about the inside-out hats. That's some far-out shit, man!
