Colorado vs. San Diego.....a battle to the death.
It's in the 21st inning right now. Yes, the 21st inning. They had been tied 0-0 until the 14th inning when both teams scored a run. Fast-forward 7 innings later, and both teams have done jack and sh!t since. Wow. I couldn't imagine sitting through a 21+ inning game. Is there a rule about how long these games can go on or can they keep playing until sunrise?
And on to the bottom of the 21st they go.........
1:02 am (pacific): Tony Clark just hit a single. Come on Edmonds, bring him home.
1:03 am (pacific): Edmonds just hit into a DP. Great. 22nd inning here we come......
1:05 am (pacific): 36Ks so far in this game, only 12 walks. Can this game end before inning 30? Stay tuned!
1:07 am (pacific): No one is taking any pitches. Considering the length of the game, they don't appear to be in a hurry.
1:08 am (pacific): We have a runner on 1st because of an error. Can he score? Probably not, but it's fun to think they can get some sh!t done here.
1:11 am (pacific): Runner at 3B! He stole 2nd and then went to third on a throwing error. BRING HIM IN!......HE DID!! On a double. Sweet.
1:13 am (pacific): Bottom of the 22nd inning we go. Pads need to tie or take the lead or the Rox win. At this point everyone must be so loopy with fatigue, I'm surprised people aren't running to third rather than first when they get a hit.
1:16 am (pacific): Khalil Greene, HBP. Watch this game go another 10 innings.
1:17 am (pacific): DP kills that rally, Pads down to their final out.......
1:22 am (pacific): GAME OVER!! Rockies win 2-1 in 22 innings. Holy crap. I'll do a mini game summary for this, because frankly.....its awesomeness deserves one.
This was a pitcher's duel. Nothing going until the 14th inning and even then, you needed a ton of mistakes by the other team (which at this point are due to fatigue more than anything else) to scratch a run across. Both Jeff Francis and Jake Peavy did a tremendous job tonight, especially Peavy, who threw 8 innings and struck out 11 and walked 3. He only gave up 4 hits. In fact, all the pitching was great. 37 strikeouts and only 13 walks. The offense was non-existent and you had a feeling it was going to take someone throwing the ball into the seats for someone to score. I wonder how the players felt having to keep trudging out there inning after inning after inning, even after no one had done a damn thing all night. Kudos to everyone on both teams for sticking it out that long.....you all deserve a nice hot shower and a bed to sleep in for like, 12 hours.
