Not a whole lot can be said about this game but I'll try. Watching it was compared to watching paint dry and playing it was as frustrating as seeing your prom date leave with someone else (Why'd you do it Chrissy?!?!). On the mound, Richard and Claudio pitched with the ferocity of two wounded gazelles dragging their bloodied stub of legs across the Serengeti praying the predators would take pity on these two geriatric knuckleballers and not pounce. Claudio's pitching is the polar opposite of Ryan's requiring a crane to measure the arc and a calendar for the hangtime but goddamnit it worked!!! Going into the 7th the score was 7-3 for Blue and it looked like all 3 fans would thankfully be home by 8:15. 7-4 Red's down to their last out when Farmer hits one just behind a Blue player not to be named for fear of his own mental health. The ball is staying in the field and it looks like he can grab it! He propels himself as high as he can (2 inches max) gets a glove on it. game over.......unfortunately it pops out, goes over the fence, Red ties the game!!!!! Omg, this snoozefest is actually gaining some steam! Blue gets the next out and we're headed to OT. At this time Blue would like to officially apologize to both of their fans for not finishing this game earlier, let's hope overtime can deliver on excitement. Top of the 7th, Wayne leads off with a bomb over the right field fence, this one's looking to be a fun one! Blue follows it up with 3 quick outs which perfectly follows the tone of this game. Red has a shot at this! Blue gets the first out but Red gets the tying run on first and up steps Dillon. Groans can be heard from all of Blue's outfield as they collectively pray to not be the one to watch a nuke fly over their heads to give Red the win. Instead, Dillon keeps with the script of this game and pops out to allow all of Blue to breathe a sigh of relief for a moment. Blue manages to get the third out and hold Red scoreless to record the victory 8-7. Elder abuse, I mean homeruns came courtesy of Quesnel, Penny, and Farmer. I hope you all feel like big men now by beating up on the elderly! Lowlights came from Jonathan tripping over first and injuring himself in the process (hope he's ok). Highlight of the night was getting to have a beer afterwards. They can't all be instant classics and this one fits that bill. Much like Alexander Semin playing for the Canadiens this game has come and gone and will now be quickly forgotten and just like the game this write-up has gone on far too long!
