A Brief Respite

Call it the night the lights went out in Georgia as the Nationals managed to sneak a win out of Atlanta yesterday. I watched the very beginning of the game when Jason "Harvey" Bergmann managed to get out of a bases loaded jam in the first and the very end of the game when Cordero managed to get out of a bases loaded jam for the save.

Even with this disastrous beginning of a season I found myself on the edge of myself last night as if this was a playoff game. Maybe it was win starvation after seeing this team lose eight of nine or it could have been just good old baseball drama. At any rate it was nice to see a W go in the books. Let's hope they keep it up.
