As a Padres fan, I knew that would happen. I give a 40% of Hoffman coming back next year. He had two chances to lock it up, including Saturday, and blew both.

All things equal though, a hell of a game. One of the best games I've ever watched. WTG Rockies and I'll be rooting for you in the playoffs.

Fun rooting against ya bro.

Such a shame to see the game end on a [censored] call like that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Looked like a bad call. Good way for the crapshoot known as MLB playoffs to start. Should be a more interesting series with the Phillies though - 2 hot offensive teams - in Coors and the bandbox in Philly.

Four hour baseball games?

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering it was 13 inning 9-8 ballgame, I was surprised it was only four hours and change.

[/ QUOTE ]

They said 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Within the last 3 seasons, IIRC, there have been two regular season 9-inning games played between the Sox and Yankees that were like 4:45 and 4:42 or something. So stupid. What a bunch of drama wh.ores.

This was an actual playoff game that went extras and otherwise moved at a slow pace and still was well shorter.

After checking out that guy's posts, I'm beginning to think his title might be sarcastic.

McClellan might also have been waiting to see if Barrett held on to the ball.
