I haven’t blogged about baseball in a long time but last night was too exceptional to not take not of:
The craziest points to take out of this is the unbelievable combination of TB’s amazing comeback with 1 strike left in the game, and Boston’s dumbfounding blowup with 1 strike left in their game….and both events happening at almost the same time. One things for certain, the bad blood between the Yanks and the Bosox has a new chapter added. After a 7-0 lead in the 6th, the Yankees swapped out all of their starters with their callups and it showed. Lots of hit batsmen, walks, etc.
The other blowup happened in the NL. The Braves blew their playoffs by giving up a run in the 9th and letting STL steal the playoff spot.
None of this would have been worth mentioning if both the Braves and Sox hadn’t thrown away unprecedented leads coming into Sept.
And here’s me: I watched the games until around 8:30 when there was not a thought in my head that something unbelievable could even possibly happen.
