Blue skies in Washington, pitchers and catchers in Viera, all is well in the world.<br /><br />The tune that popped into my head this morning was "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." So to celebrate the season, I've added a <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArHMZg5A8wSXdGViSG8xUGQxUlZzaUVxekJFNHFRcEE#gid=4" rel="nofollow">new page to the NIDO Spreadsheet</a>. Anyone who is so inclined (and I know there are alot of creative wordsmiths around here) can add to/or help perfect alternate lyrics. Either Nats-centric or generic baseball references are appropriate.<br /><br />We can add more verses if necessary.
