In case any of you loyal readers out there haven't seen it yet today either in print or online, the Times published two special preview sections: one on the Nats and MLB going into 2008, and one on the new ballpark. They're really well done, and I don't just say that because I wrote a couple of articles that are included.

Top to bottom, this is an outstanding preview for the upcoming season, and credit goes to my colleagues Ben Goessling, Thom Loverro, Tim Lemke, photographers Peter Lockley and Rod Lamkey and editors Mark Hartsell, Harrison Goodman and John Taylor for making the whole thing look so great.

Here's a link to a page that has just about everything from both sections, including several PDF files with graphics and photos. But do yourself a favor and fork over the 25 cents to buy a hard copy of the paper, because both sections are worth seeing in hard-copy form.
