Tone Def

The Nationals debuted a theme song yesterday. I haven't heard it yet, but I'll defer to this judgement.

The Nationals have plenty of things to smooth out before Opening Day, but right at the top of the list should be pulling the plug on their theme song. The heavy-metal tune, "We Are the Washington Nationals" sounds as if it was performed by a Def Leppard tribute band, and is more suited for an Arena Football team than a major-league club. After a few games of listening to this screeching nightmare, the former Expos will be nostalgic for the silence of Olympic Stadium, which may have lacked crowd noise but always played good music.
