Every year I get a swath of this unpleasant weed across my lawn. In the
past I've picked it out, but it keeps coming back. Does anyone know what
it is and how to get rid of it?

Looks like crabgrass to me.

Checkout the following and click on the "crabgrass, common" link:

yep, crab grass or quack grass. I just sprayed my whole lawn for that. Your
local nursery or lawn care store should have an answer for your broadleaf
grass

Nutsedge

I agree that it looks like one of the nutsedges, though weed
indentification by photo is difficult. Nutsedge emerges with high
temperatures and wet soil, and is most noticeable a few days after
mowing, when it shoots above the grass. It has a lighter, more yellow
color than grass. If that's what it is, Basagran or Manage are
effective for killing it in turf.

Yes they are, but are they available over the counter?
