Congratulations, Washington Nationals!

Congratulations to Washington Nationals on winning their first game
and especially Brad Wilkerson on hitting for cycle.
I heard it on the AFN sportsnews.

I went to Montreal and saw several Expos games there
and I saw them in Seattle when they played M's in 2003.

My trip to Montreal was very interesting as I took the Greyhound bus all the way from Vancouver,
and, just to see Expos games before it would be too late, I spent three straight nights in the bus.

I haven't seen the conclusion of today's Mariners game.
But from what I saw in the opening series against Minnesota, it's like watching a re-run of 2004.
They are still struggling mightily to score runs.
So far, there hasn't been much of evidence to support my expectation
that this year they are going to win it all.

Hope Mr. Sele kept the team in the game after I left.
I was one of the few Sele fans when he pitched for M's in 2000 and 2001
(I liked the way he licks his fingers and blows on his pitching hand on the mound too).

So long for now
