It's a glorious day in NatsTown. Stephen Strasburg is finally a Washington National, agreeing to terms with minutes to spare before last night's midnight deadline. Like other people who follow the Nationals closely, the prospective combination of Strasburg and fellow first-round pick Drew Storen (who called it a "great night for the Nats") eventually gracing the mound at Nationals Park has us drooling. Is today the best day in Nationals history since they moved to D.C.? It's up there. Here's some food for thought on this very exciting morning.

The Capitals have agreed to terms on a one year contract with former MVP Sergei Fedorov. Fedorov has won three Stanley Cups while playing center, wing and defense. He has also been voted the NHL's best defensive forward. He reportedly had many contract offers from teams throughout the NHL and Russia's new KHL, but he took a 33 percent paycut from last season to stay with the Caps for $4 million.
