I love to come to these comments and learn something new/useful/unexpected. Sports clothes from Wal*Mart might be just the thing for teenage boys still on my Christmas list. I'm there.

You're right about the Patriots. It's to the point where a loss is such a shock that it takes days to recover.

Yikes, I'm old enough to remember watching the original Washington Senators (previously the Washington Nationals) playing the Red Sox at Fenway Park in the 50s, before the Senators moved to Minnesota in 1961. The had some good years in the 20s and early 30s. And Moe Berg - the legendary WWII spy - played for them!

Tom - do you remember the old sportswriters cliche about baseball in Washington, "Washington, first in war, first in peace and last in baseball."?
I can only wish that Washington institution, Shirley Povich, was here to put his thoughts in your box.

Here's hoping the 3rd time is the charm and not the 3rd strike against the nation's capitol for baseball.

Remember the 1960's/70's - one would have to drive to Baltimore to see winning baseball.

All the best - keep up the sharp insights

Merry Christmas to you and your ever expanding family.
