pd.to_datetime throws OutOfBoundsDatetime parsing strings without the year

[mikedeltalima]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

pd.to_datetime(pd.Series('5pm april'))

Problem description

Strings that can be parsed by dateutil fail to parse in pandas. Also, it would be good to set the default date manually and have it default to the current date as it does in dateutil.

print(dateutil.parser.parse('5pm april'))
2017-04-26 17:00:00

Output
