Fun. Not Fun.

Fun: "Breaking out with a big seventh inning for the second game in a row, the Nationals extended their winning streak to five by completing a sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 7-3 comeback victory before 35,463 on Sunday." (AP)

Not bad for a team with few expectations other than to have a nice home in Washington.

Not Fun: "Enough is enough. I am bitterly disappointed as I'm sure all Yankee fans are by the lack of performance by our team. It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk. They are not playing like true Yankees. They have the talent to win and they are not winning. I expect Joe Torre, his complete coaching staff and the team to turn this around." Yankees owner George Steinbrenner in a statement following his team's 8-4 loss in Baltimore.

And so it goes with the team with the highest expectations in baseball.

For a DC-based Red Sox fan (and a Nationals admirer) it's a pretty good day.
