Something's wrong with this picture

My beloved Chicago Cubs have started the season 0-2 while my beloved team No. 2 the Washington Nationals have started the season 3-0 (three Curly W's are in the books!) I think if you ask most people they'd say they would have thought the reverse would be true.

No need to panic for the Cubs, though manager Lou Piniella has already decided to move Alfonso Soriano back to the leadoff spot in the batting order. Which I agree with. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If they lose to the Brewers again today, then maybe they begin to panic. A bit.

As for the Nats, what a nice start. The pitching has been surprisingly good, though they can't afford to be without closer Chad Cordero for long. But it's nice to see Jon Rauch, the tallest player in Major League Baseball (Ed and I joke about him all the time), picking up a couple of saves in his absence. And they are scoring runs, with RYAN ZIM-MER-MAN! (pictured) slugging two homers already.

Can't wait for the Nats to get back home to that brand spanking new ballpark. And the Cubs are in town in only three weeks. Should be a great weekend...
