Toying with emotions like that!! Man... after the first inning I thought they had it! Then they gave 4 back, added two more, then let the lead go, then tied it up... it was too much!

Watching that game reminded me so much of games in Japan. The crowd always has little plastic megaphones that they use to shout/bang together at all games :) The noise reminded me so much of those games. I once lived close to Nagoya and so went to watch the Nagoya Dragons play a few games against the Tokyo Giants. Wanted to see Lloyd Moseby play again. I even remember watching Hideo Nomo pitch for the Kintetsu Buffaloes in a pre-season game against the Dragons! I'd never have thought he'd show up here...

Ah well... Thank heavens for the Rally Monkey! I'm just glad they won. Here's hoping they can take at least two in SanFran so they can then return to home to ice the cake.
