Everything! Willie is the complete pro who comes to the ballpark every day ready to give it his best shot. If Manny Acta wants leadership, Willie will give it to him.

Thank goodness June is finally here. The win-loss numbers speak for themselves, so no need to beat a dead horse there. But I've gotta believe things will get better for this ballclub. I can hear the echos now of "Yeah? Tell us how!" And that's the type of question every Nats fan should be asking. We discussed this the other night: as bad as
