Game 1 Reflections

Something just hit me: we won game 1 in Yankee Stadium!

Christ, I've been so over analytical, I've not had the chance to be happy about what we just did.

F-$# that's great.

The point made by my buddy Brody - independent observer, a Nats fan - was this: letting Lee finish was the complete demolition to get insidetheir heads for the next time they faced him.

Personally, I kinda thought 8 innings, 10 ks and 0 runs had already done that. I'd have been tempted to take him out to preserve pitches in case he has to pitch at some point in Game 7. 

Yes, I'm that forward thinking, that I thought about a Game 7 when/if Cole is breaking down in the 3rd or 4th inning.
