Go, Nats!

Something tells me this is finally gonna be the year the National League wins the All Star Game. I mean, they can’t keep getting humiliated year after year, can they?

OK, they can. And they probably will. But still, I got a feeling about this one.

Many unusual things have been happening lately. A black man was elected president. Jay Leno left the Tonight Show. Brett Favr has retired and unretired. (More than once.)

Clearly, we live in strange times. A National League win would fit right in.

And President Obama himself will be right there, in the broadcast booth, for a few innings. If that doesn’t say Upset City, I don’t know what does.

The Nationals need this one badly. Just like they have every year since 1996.

Thank God the Nats still have the overall edge, 40-37-2. But if they don’t put some pepper in their shorts, in four years that will be history too.

The last time the Big Game was in St. Loo — 1966 — the Nationals won. History is due to repeat itself.

You read it here first, when the final out is made, the score will be: National League 7, American League 4.

Ahhh, yes, I can almost taste it. Soon our long National (League) nightmare will be over.
