Two games in one

[muckefuck]

I don't know what's crazier, that that game just lasted 20 innings or that it's still five innings shorter than the longest game ever played between the Cards and the Mets. (No, I'm not geek enough to know that offhand; yes, I did look that up in Wikipedia.) Of course I'm sad my team lost, but I said back in the...um...14th inning (so hard to remember now), when they practically had a grand slam handed to them and yet failed to earn a single run, that with that kind of play they deserved to lose and I meant it. Almost. Also, this will go down as the first time (in sports or life) in which I've seen "defensive indifference" used as a technical term.

At least this didn't go down last night when my nephews were at the game. Instead, they actually got to see a grand slam, which is more than I can say. AWI even caught a t-shirt from the cannon--those must've been some nice seats!

It was fun to see non-pitchers pitch and even do a decent job it. But, I too lost a lot of heart when they had bases loaded and no outs (IIRC) in teh 14th inning and couldn't push across a single run...
