Amazing game in Toronto last night. 18 innings. Longest game in the bigs this year. I listened to the last 4 innings on my XM while on my way home from camp. Funny thing was that the game was scoreless for the first 8 innings. Then each team scored once in the ninth, then it was scoreless for the next 8 and a half innings, when Toronto finally won it in the bottom of the 18th.

I kind of wonder if the guy who scored in the bottom of the ninth was out there in the 16th thinking, "Why couldn't I have been thrown out?!?!"

I was listening to part of that game as well. To me it's fascinating to hear about all the strategy, even going so far as to affect today's game. LA used so many pitchers last night/this morning that they are looking to add another pitcher to the roster for today's game. I wonder how many pinch hitters were used, or how many players were left on the bench at the end? Heck, if this game was at Wrigley there would've been a second rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". (Although, I wonder if the personality that sang in the seventh would've still been around to sing the second time, or if their "people" would've had them outta there?)
