Screwy inning in the Cubs-Nats game. Top of 5th. Cubs have been down all game but have mounted a 2 out rally to take a one run lead with runners on 1st and 2nd. Two strikes. Batter swings and misses on a ball in the dirt. Ball goes through the catcher's legs and rolls to the screen. Runners advance and batter runs to 1st on dropped third strike. He beats the throw which is off line and goes into right field and runner scores from third. After the play there is a discussion among the umpires to decide if the fact that the batter's bat hit the catchers mask on his follow through is relevant (dead ball on catcher interference?). Ruling is not changed and the run counts. Later in the inning a bat hist the catcher's mitt in the middle of a swing but nothing is called. Then a batter is hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score an insurance run.

and once we fix the salary cap problem, then we'll start with 4:37 minute 9 inning games that end just before 1:00 am.
and as bad as that was for us tv watchers -- what time did the fans get home?
I once went to a Saturday night Astro-Dodger game that went 22 innings. When the innings were somewhere in the teens my date said she was getting tired, so being a gentleman I offered to call her a cab (on second thought I could probably be better defined as a baseball fan).
I was back in the Astrodome for the Sunday 1pm game that went 13 Innings. So I watched the equivalent of 4 games in less than 24 hours.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Astro, looks like the Yankees are 'Peaking' at just the right time. I thought for sure the Astros were going to steamroll right through them. Go Astros!“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these, 'It might have been.”

couldn't sleep so turned on the tv and was surprised to see ex brave (and others) ron gant as one of the anchors on the early morning news. he made $45 million during his career -- i guess he has his reasons for (a) working, and (b) choosing a job that starts at 6:00 am. certainly wouldn't be my choice!
to make this baseball related -- he holds one of those "weird" records -- fewest rbi's by a player with 25 or more homeruns. in 2000 he hit 26 home runs and had a total of 54 rbi's. his record has since been tied by one other.2,000 miler -

Hopefully just a case of everybody holding serve on the home field.
having the all star game decide home field advantage was stupid -- but too bad they fixed it this year.2,000 miler -

One big gap in this series was McCann tagging multiple runners out at home, while his counterpart Sanchez looked like he could never catch a throw to make a tag.

lol, the atlanta journal constitution take on the ALCS:

On the other side Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is too busy vacationing with his family in Italy.
I know family time is supposed to be good, but that makes him a pretty lousy teammate in my book.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.
