1. What game lasted 13 hours?

What am I missing here? How many innings did it go?

[Leghorn21]

2. Apologies - but Cubs and Nationals seemed to last...well, 13 hours! But its over now

and those Cubs WON!

9 looooong innings!

5. Guess I had to have been there.

I mean, really, it was only 9 innings.

Try reading the book "Bottom of the 33rd" if you want to know what a genuinely long baseball game is all about.

7. Obviously, I know little about baseball, eh? - I actually have hated it all my life till I

ran into Game 5 or so of last year’s World Series, and I just got such a feel for them!!! Addison and Javier and Contreras and of course that Ant’ny Rizzo and Mr. Bryant and Mr. Heyward...

Watching last year’s series was the ONLY break I have gotten from the abysmal pre and post election agony...so...hate baseball, LOVE CUBS!!

6. There was a feeling that everything

was moving in slow motion.

I also had a fleeting notion that both teams were playing to lose. And some of the dramatic flash points were perfectly timed for emotional effect. Great game.

8. Oh good, so it wasnt just me (a total rookie!), it WAS sloooo mo, and then my sons Addison

and Javier execute that double play - oh yeah, flash point city!

Great game indeed!

3. Cubs-Nats. It was actually only a little under 5 hours. :-)

4. "The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes, everything else is pure theory. Off we go!"
