It Just Wouldn't End...

And we go to the 10th... the 11th... the 12th... all the way to the 14th. It was an endurance test to watch it all. I was getting woozy and delirious watching it.

I thought the game was going to be decided on a Bill Buckner-esque boot from Eric Hosmer. Then the guy who nearly tied Game 7 against the Giants last year tied it up in the 9th this year (Alex Gordon).

At one point in this game, there were technical difficulties from FOX Sports. We got the MLB international broadcast with Matt Vasgersian and John Smoltz, which made me very happy. That is until they moved Joe Buck and crew into their digs.

It got to the point that Chris Young and Bartolo Colon were in the game at the same time.

All the while, Twitter was the place to be and here are some of my highlights from the night. And this was just Game 1!

The FOX truck lost power during the broadcast. Dallas, did you have something to do with this?


Here is Bartolo celebrating NBA Opening Night. Well, not really but it's impressive.

I was thinking the same thing...


Can you imagine this? I lost it on this one.

It's Been Too Long

I'm having withdrawal. Baseball withdrawal. A base-drawal if you will. Okay, maybe a bit too corny but the point remains the same. It's been too long since there has been a baseball game.

I've had to wait since Friday for anything?


It's not quite that bad but let's just say the period right after the World Series is kind of depressing in my sports world. But we do get one more series and it should be an epic one.

Two teams that have not won a title since the '80s? Two teams that are constructed very differently.

The Mets are pitching heavy and are rolling into the Fall Classic. To this point, they have beaten Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Jon Lester, and Jake Arrieta and all have fallen victim to Daniel Murphy.

It's as though the soul of Babe Ruth himself has possessed Murphy and infused him with unholy power. Home runs in six straight games would be impressive for a Little Leaguer. This dude has home runs in six straight postseason games!

I couldn't do that playing World Series Baseball on my old Sega Genesis.

It has the Mets feeling like...
