Lucy, a funny thing happened this year. Your Daddy got to root for a team that actually looks like it may be good. As of this writing, the Nats are tied 1-1 in the National League Division Series with the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals. Win or lose, it’s been really fun to see a team as dreadful as the Nats have been turn into the team with the best regular-season record in 2012. Clearly, you’re not enjoying it as much as I am, but in fairness, you’re sick and need the sleep.
