yesterday, the padres and dodgers played one of the most ridiculous games of the whole season... jesus christ that was a roller coaster and i couldn't think straight after...
from the early 4-0 lead to escaping unscathed with bases loaded and no outs (thanks to the claw) to the 4 run lead to the 4 homerun back to back to back to back jacks to the walkoff homerun by mr. ADD
overall... that was a hell of a game... woulda been nice to come out on top of that one... woulda been nice to get hoffman that 476th... woulda been nice to be 1.5 games ahead in first...
...but that's what october baseball is all about! still in it with a good handful of games left -- now i gotta be a damn pirate and dback fan (when they play the dodgers, of course)...
still.. 5-13 record ain't bad at all...
really good padres baseball blog right here
best line:
- If Dodger fan tells you they were at the game, then there's a really really
really really good chance that they didn't get to see the miracle, because
Dodger Fan usually leaves in the 7th after the beach balls are gone and Dodger
Fan definitely makes their way to the exit in the 9th if they're down. The
only people left were die hard, and you gotta respect that considering the
smell of urine in Chavez Ravine must have been unbearable at that point. They
were troopers. Or really drunk. Or waiting to go commit some crimes in the
local neighborhood afterwards.
