Last night's game, being game 6 of the WS, has to rank up there among the greatest games in baseball history. (That is ended well after midnight on the east coast is a shame...)
It was downright bizarre. From the 8th inning on, good pitcher after good pitcher came out of the Texas bullpen and none of them could get outs. Oh, and Cruz should have caught Freese's liner in the 9th.
What a great game! What a classic series!

Texas has never won... So I really don't care who wins... just glad it's some good baseball. Great coverage on Sports Center, there's no way I can invest 3 extra hours awake on a work night.
Bring back WS Day Games!

Television ratings were down for baseball, so they had
a team of writers script a scenario that they hope will grip the nation...and it worked!
In fact, so many people believed it, that the government decided to try it out
on 9/11 and staged the attack on the WTC. People thought we were actually under attack!
Newscast ratings soared, and people watched for hours marveling at the sight.
In fact, Kirk Gibson actually flew one of the planes into the first tower.
He parachuted out just before impact and he limped away from the site pumping his
fist as he hobbled away.
Kirk now lives in a spacious house in a subdivision known as Area 51.
He frequently has been seen having lunch with Jack Bauer.
Who knows what those two will cook up next??

In my lifetime, nothing beats Game 6 of 1986.

Originally posted by shortcircuitBefore the ball went through Billy Bucks legs, Calvin Schiraldi and Stanley Steamer gave up the lead.Bill Buckner was the greatest scapegoat inn baseball history, especially when you consider the Sox had a 3-0 lead in game 7 that they blew. Buckners knees were in such bad condition he had to ice them down for hours before each game, although his post season batting accomplishnents, along with Dave Hendersons, got them to the W.S. in the first place.
If the Rangers lose tonight, I think last night's game might loom just as large as Billy
Buck's debacle in 86.

you would already know the answer.
It was INCREDIBLY sarcastic. Most people figured it out early because, duh, Kirk Gibson
really was hurt.
Do some research next time. Lord knows, with a whopping 4 game chess load, you
have plenty of time.
