Opening Day!

It's hard to believe, but the last time the Nats had an Opening Day with fans in the stands was three years ago. It's crazy to think back to how different the team was then, with Scherzer and Turner, Zim and Rendon, and so many other beloved faces for the team that would go on to bring us our first World Series Championship! Now we're finally back, never having had the chance to properly celebrate that World Series with an Opening Day as World Champions, raising the pennant in front of a raucous crowd, cheering our returning heroes... Instead we're finally here with a team that is a shadow of it's former self, Strasburg is off somewhere rehabbing his shoulder, Turner and Rendon are playing on the west coast, Zim is retired, and Scherzer is here, but our cheers for him are just wistful reminders of days gone by as he doffs his new Mets cap and disappears into the visitors dugout...
