simonus Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 is anybody watching the braves/astros game right now? It's in the 15th inning! If the braves get to bat again, Clemens is warming up in the bullpen! I'm not a fan of either team, but I've become engrossed.

Howie_Morenz Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 You my friend must be a sports fanatic like me! I have not seen all the game, but did I hear them say two grand slams? Turkey dinner is over and I just turned the game back on. WOW!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 2 grand slams... and the rocket is kicking ass out of the pen 17th inning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie_Morenz Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Ya I just noticed that too. 17 innings must be the longest playoff game in history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 it is... 2nd longest was an pennant game between seattle and yankees. That was 16 innings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie_Morenz Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I say Houston gets a run this inning and ends it... Man I am going out so going to have to get this on the radio in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Turned the TV on and saw 18th inning and started watching. I'm not a big baseball fan though. So the Braves are out. Wow! 18 innings! Longest post-season game in MLB history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 i 'only' tuned in for the 8th inning... I guess I only watched one game This was amazing... both teams used every player on the bench. The guys were so tired by the end, Braves almost won in the top of the 18th(!) because of an exhaustion error. Clemens is unbelievable. He's a 0th ballot hall of famer.

BTH Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Ya the first baseman dropped the pass but it wasn't serious. They didn't almost lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 true... but whenever you give up free outs, especially in extra innings, you are asking to lose the game. Again, amazed at what i just saw. [Edited on 10/9/2005 by simonus] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Meh. I don't really care about baseball. The Angels and Yankees are still scoreless. I hope the Angels finally eliminate these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafs Suck Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Yankees, with an assist from the home plate up, won in game 4. Anaheim lead going into the 7th but the Wankees got some crap calls and won. Game 5 tonight. GO ANGELS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortcat1 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Right now the Yankees are winning 2 - 1 in the bottom of the second. GO ANGELS!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcat1 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Speaking of the longest game, here's a list of the 5 longest playoff overtime games in the NHL. 1 Detroit 1, Montreal Maroons 0 6 176:30 Mud Bruneteau 3/24/36 SF, Gm 1 Montreal 2 Toronto 1, Boston 0 6 164:46 Ken Doraty 4/3/33 SF, Gm 5 Toronto 3 Philadelphia 2, Pittsburgh 1 5 152:01 Keith Primeau 5/4/00 CSF, Gm 4 Pittsburgh 4 Pittsburgh 3 Washington 2 4 139:15 Petr Nedved 4/24/96 CQF, Gm 4 Washington 5 Toronto 3, Detroit 2 4 130:18 Jack McLean 3/23/43 SF, Gm 2 Detroit The first number of the bold numbers is the number of overtime periods. The second is the total minutes of the game. The last name is the winning team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcat1 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The one I remember watching was the Islanders/Capitals one where Pat Lafontaine did a spin-around at the blue line and pretty well shot blindly and it got by the Washington goalie, Bob Mason. By the way, here's a link with 'Epic' overtime playoff games. It includes Montreal's win over the Don Cherry Bruins in 1979. http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/hockey/OT.html A good read.

Ouch, been there after watching late west coast playoff games and making sales presentations on very little sleep next morning. At least I could not be a little nervous as I was only a little awake! I think I call this bad hockey when this happens. I have only caught a bit of this game. 5-2 Angels huh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafs Suck Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 5-3 Angels in the bottom of the 7th Yankees got outta a massive jam in the 6th, bases loaded 1 out but nothing happened. BTW, Randy Johnson's nick is the Big Unit. Is it just me or is this nick a tad over the top? Can't think of a more perverted nickname in sports than 'The Big Unit' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
