Alright, it looks like some of you fine players didn't get the memo I sent out, so, for your benefit as well as mine, let me repeat:

NO EXTRA INNINGS, BITCHES!

Yes, I loves me some baseball drama. I don't want the wins to seem cheap, I want to see the teams really duke it out for the title. But JesusflamingH-E-doublehockeystickChrist, fourteen fucking innings? On a school night? I've got a work week to get through here! What I wanted was a pleasant diversion while I ate my salmonburger with mesclun greens at my local gay pub and what I got was the longest goddamn game in World Series history. I've never watched a game go to five extra innings before. I've before never seen a team run through its entire bullpen before. Superdemented craziness!

I don't blame the Scoutmaster for leaving before midnight, since Wednesday is his nightmare heavy day. At 11:30, I was ready to buy my friends a round to celebrate victory. At 12:30, I was willing to buy a round for anyone still standing. At 1:30, all I wanted to do was crawl into bed. Props to the lovely Antwan, who I'd barely met once before, for sticking it out to the bitter end with me.

Best snark of the night: At Astacio's appearance. "Girl, look at your hair! 'I just got out of bed. They called me at home to pitch this game.'"

Stupidest moment: Men on first and second and Ensberg, instead of trying to get one of them out, toddling behind the grounder like a doofus waiting to see if it will roll foul. Um, it didn't.

'I just got out of bed. They called me at home to pitch this game.'

And he was pitching about that well, too, when I finally tuned in at the bottom of the 13th.

Hey, I think it's great that now everyone in both clubs can say they played in the World Series (Go Geoff Blum!). Of course, I fell asleep around 11.

and yet....

and yet stay up and watch it we did. I'd like to say it was a joyous victory but I was just happy it was over.

Me, if you'll believe it. (Though it's prilicla's fault, since she was the one watching the game. Then she fell asleep.)

Though I did wake up around 2:00 and ask how it ended. I was also able to watch the last inning before going to sleep for real, thanks to our loyal TiVo.
