"Last night *** the Nationals used the No. 1 pick in the draft to select catcher Bryce Harper.
"Tonight *** 2009 top-pick Stephen Strasburg is in the house and making his Major-League debut.
"NATIONALS FANS. IT ALL STARTS. RIGHT. NOW."
Oh God. I just died.
At the risk of offending my wife of 32-plus years and my kids, I'm trying to think if there's anything I've looked forward to more, anticipated more, couldn't wait to see more.
Drawing a blank here.
Check out Mark Zuckerman's latest post. I alerted the kids, what with Father's Day coming and all. Make it actual dirt Strasburg touched and they could triple the price.
"Batting ninth *** and pitching, No. 37 ***" How loud do you think it's going to get?

The most amazing part of that post: 32 years. :)
I wonder how long Jerome has been standing in front of the mirror working on his "Steeeeeeeeeeven Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurg" delivery? And you think YOUR wife is pissed...
Yep - married longer than you've been alive.
It's a big delivery. The pressure is on Jerome. Is he up to the task? You don't want to botch history.
I hope he doesn't go Stephen Harper and Bryce Strasburg or something like that.
