From Nats Park with Gloves ... We Pity the Fools

I feel like Mr. T. Make that a self-loathing Mr. T. I pity the fool who sat out and watched that miserable Opening Day game at Nats Park yesterday.

April Fools! (No that wasn't a prank, that was what we felt like—especially because it was still March—maybe that was the problem. Yes, I said we. I was among the freezing hordes to see the boys with the curly W caps get blanked. Editors need time off too.)

Our regional editor sent out a missive earlier this week: "DO NOT ... sneak any April Fool's pranks into your sites on Friday." The subject?: "No foolin'--I mean it ... no foolin'."

So no "Rockville Sold To Pinneberg, Germany" or "Joe Gibbs to Coach Richard Montgomery Football" headlines.

Now that we have that out of the way, here's the B.A. Baracus edition of "The Rundown":
