The Game of the Year

The theme for this year was weird games. We saw a game played in the rain, a game with two Infield Fly Rule calls, and no end of other strange moments. We even saw our lowly squad dish out a lopsided ass beating to the Yankees.

As great as all that was, nothing quite compared to the Sunday, August 5 game against the league-leading Texas Rangers. We blew an early lead (thank you, Luke Inning). Normally when we fall significantly behind, the team falls over and plays dead for the rest of the game. But that afternoon we broke with tradition and fought back. Extra innings meant free baseball, and the win off two bizarre throwing errors sealed the deal. Throw in the post-game press conference I mentioned a few days ago, and you’ve got the Game of the Year.
