Colorado ..... 000 000 000 000 010 000 000 1 - 2 14 1
San Diego ... 000 000 000 000 010 000 000 0 - 1 11 2
Gameday is pretty anti-dramatic.

Barely made it to the Hollywood Bowl in time.
Nah, let 'em both go.
Way to break out the errors, San Diego.
Depends on number of pitchers and K's etc, but 9 would be the limit for me.

"That's why they call it the senior circuit, boys and girls."
I believe the longest game I've actually attended is this one -- a real heartbreaker. The Dodgers took the lead in the top of the 16th after Mondesi went from first to third on a sac bunt. Then they blew it in the bottom of the inning.

Usually we stretch in the seventh inning of a nine-inning game, right? So why is the second stretch in the 14th? It should be nine innings after the first stretch -- the 16th. This is the seventh inning of the theoretical second nine-inning game.
Which means the third stretch should be in the 26th.
Wish we were playing one of these teams tomorrow.

"One hundred forty-five miles east of Atlanta is the city of Augusta, Ga., home to one of the world's most famous sporting venues. It is a place where legends are born in the Masters, as golf announcer Jim Nantz has so melodramatically pointed out on so many occasions over the years, with the previously little-known Trevor Immelman having become the latest Sunday."
Don't know why, but it reminds me of this:
"Strap yourselves in, folks, we're in for the night. Twelve rounds right here at Bally's Park Place. Just a stone's throw down the boardwalk from where a new Miss America was crowned just a few months ago. Miss Rochester, I believe it was."
Tony Jackson: The Cut Man.
Then I woke up during the 21st inning and watched the end.
Thats just ridiculous.
Ooh, stayin' up all night

I used to think that also, Eric, but actually, the 14th inning stretch makes more sense.
The 7th inning isn't so much the "2/3rds" point in the game, it's just the amount of time you spend before MLB arbitrarily decided to get everybody to stand up for a while.
Logically, that means we should stretch every 7 innings, so the next stretch would be the 14th.
This very debate was on my mind when we did the 14th inning stretch "near the ravine" back in '02.
Penarol has it right on the nose, I missed his post before I made mine.
a 1-2 count, two on, two outs, two runs on the board in the 22nd inning when the (eventual) winning run was scored
