Brendan Witt started with the Caps as a holdout, drafted in the first round in 1993 but sitting out his first season because he thought he was worth more than the team was offering. That didn't endear him to me, and when he did start playing, I was ambivalent...he took a few too many dumb penalties for my taste, but at least he was a defensive defenseman.
He's grown on me, and I've nothing against him now. But I gotta say...if he's the best defenseman on the team...well, I guess you end up seeing 7-2 games.
I keep telling myself: It's a rebuilding year.
We suck by design, and it's not like I've never seen a bad season before. I don't know why I'm so discouraged.
I'm going to the game tonight. Right now the big excitement is that there's a new Five Guys on H Street, so I won't be eating overpriced Aramark crap for dinner.
