Can I get a "Bang Zoom!" here?

No, I'm not talking about my sex life. I'm talking about tonight's surprise victory of the Nationals over the despised Atlanta Braves! This was a long-awaited victory for the Nats, who have only scored one win since Opening Day.

I tuned into the game in the top of the 8th, just after the Nats had scored their second run, and watched with glee as the Nats held the Braves down—though Cordero had me shivering as he started to lose composure in the 9th, throwing more balls than strikes. And the game-winning out was actually off a wild pitch! On 2 outs, Cordero pitched, the catcher dropped the ball—but since the bases were loaded, all he needed to do was tag home plate to end the game. Thus, the Nationals brought home a delicious, long-awaited victory! And the fact that it was against the Braves made this win even more sweet. (I've hated the Braves since I was 13, when they defeated the Pirates in the 1991 National League playoffs. The tomahawk chop got very old in that series.)

On that note, let's have a rousing "Bang Zoom!" for the Nationals!!! If there was ever a time for one, it's now. :)
