MLB: How the Night Was Won (Interesting timeline by ESPN)
I am still breathless over the results of the AL and NL Wild Card races last night... Incredible night!
Yes ... though in terms of playoffs:
I do remember some playoff series that had games at the same time ending around the same time and you’d flip back and forth between ESPN and ESPN 2 as both crucial games
finished up...
I remember some times like the Mets or was it the Reds
losing out on a league championship because of a bases loaded
walk in bottom of the 9th...
Oh gosh, please start breathing again, please!! Heh heh.
Yes, it was a super-dramatic finish. As we listened to the Dodgers' last game last night (won vs. D-backs), the announcers kept us posted minute by minute to developments in the Red Sox game and the Rays, as well as the Cards game and the Braves. It all came down at about the same time!!
Lots of fluke-y stuff has been happening in baseball, or should I say more than usual.
I haven’t got over it yet and I doubt I ever will.
An astonishing evening.
Watching the Red Sox collapse was like slow torture.
Astonishing.
Well it will be “Go Rays” for me for a while.
It was a pretty exciting night. Its worth noting that there has been talk of having two woldcards from each league. If that had happened last night we would have had none of that drama from last night.
In 1964, in the first issue of National review after the Goldwater loss, they summed up the election results in ONE word:
"arrrrghhh"
That's about how I feel..
After the Red Sox score was posted, I was sort of glad that the Rays won, because there was no way that the Sawx were gonna win a one-game playoff..so might as well end it now..
