Now, that was long!

I'm not sure what I saw last night... was it 22 innings of some of the best pitching you'll ever see, or 22 innings of the lousiest hitting ever? It's tough to say... but one thing is for certain: Petco Park has turned baseball into a joke! Babe Ruth is spinning in his grave... that's not the way baseball was meant to be played. They should blow it up and start over. Either that, or install some sort of device that eliminates that ocean air and turns those baseballs into the slick, dried-out Superballs they were meant to be, so the Padres won't be able to rely on all those cheap, 400-foot outs.

Seriously though, it was a fun game to watch. Why I stayed up to see the very end I'm not exactly sure, but at least they got a win and I went to bed happy! Hopefully that win doesn't cost them a couple more in the long run. And I certainly hope that Torro and Bard get the day off today... both guys caught the entire game and their legs have got to be aching today.

Go Rockies!!!!
