History Watching the Astros-Braves, bottom of the 17th, longest playoff game ever. Shouldn’t ESPN be showing us highlights of 1986? Clemens has been awesome. UPDATE: That was an error on the first baseman. UPDATE, Part II: Wow. Clemens has really been awesome. UPDATE, Part III: Wow. UPDATE, ad infinitum: So Clemens does the impossible, the Yankees come back against the Angels, and baseball has one of the great nights in the last five years. What a tense, amazing, improbable 27 innings. Hooray. October 9th, 2005 \| Posted in Uncategorized « Previous \| Home \| Next » Comments are closed.
