A Victory for Climate Change

Thursday's Spring Training opener was bad for the Nationals, but good for the environment. As we all know, "there is statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature." So anything that's good for the Pirates is good for the global climate. And this game was very, very good for the Pirates.

But on to selectively happier news. GUZMANIA 2006! rolls on, as Cristian Guzman contributed 1 of the Nats 11 hits and reached base a second time on an error. Brandon Watson rebounded from his poor showing yesterday, going 2 for 2 with a walk in four innings of work. That's exactly the kind or performance he needs to send A-Sor to the trading block and Michael Tucker to the unemployment line.
