I watched the game from the 8th inning on.  It consumed my whole night.  I couldn’t look away.  It was captivating.

If there could be such a thing, this was a real embarrassing win for the Mets.

18th inning: Mets can’t score off of non-pitcher #1

19th inning: Mets only manage 1 run off of non-pitcher #2, K-Rod blows the save giving up 1 run to tie (after throwing 100+ pitches in the bullpen because Manuel had him warming up every inning since the 9th)

20th inning: Mets only manage 1 more run off of non-pitcher #2  (Manuel decides to bunt Reyes (one of the best base stealers in baseball) to 2nd off a guy who doesn’t know how to hold a runner on, can’t throw strikes, and is only throwing 70mph)

A snippet of a text conversation with my friend Jim (huge Met fan) during the 19th and 20th:

Me: Wow. This is the game that won’t end.
Jim: Unreal.
Me: How are they only scoring one run?!
Jim: Dude
Jim: Ur preaching to the choir
Jim: We’re pathetic
Jim: So sad

PS: Manuel should be fired.
