Wow. I think everyone can agree that what happened Sunday night was incredible.
Let's set it up: Chris and Ken are tied 9-9 with two games left. The only players left from either game was Adrian Gonzalez, on Chris' team and Russell Martin on Ken's team.
Chris trailed walks by two going into the ninth inning. Check out what happened after the jump.
The Dodgers are cruising to victory with a 6-1 lead with Billingsley cruising and Broxton warming up. But, incredibly, the Padres score five in the ninth to send it into extra innings. Gonzalez was not involved, as he struck out.
The best way for me to tell this story is to just let you read the text messages I got from both parties. Nothing else can do it justice.
7:56 p.m.
Game tied 6-6, bottom of the 10th inning. Adrian Gonzalez is intentionally walked.
-Ken: "Why won't this Dodger game end, this has bad news all over it. They just intentionally walked Adrian Gonzo, he walks again and I lose."
-Chris: "I need a walk man."
8:36:35 p.m.
Dodgers lead 7-6, bottom of the 13th, 1 out, no one on and Adrian Gonzalez is intentionally walked! Read that again - no one on base with the lead!!!
-Ken: "THEY FUCKING INTENTIONALLY WALKED HIM AGAIN, WHO DOES THAT UP 1 RUN??"
8:36:44 p.m.
-Chris: "Hahahahahaha!!!"
8:37:44 p.m.
-Ken: "Fuckin horrible man I can't believe this"
8:37:50 p.m.
-Chris: "Hahahaha whoooo"
8:39:50 p.m.
-Ken: "Just disgusted, and why the fuck is Hanley getting days off"
8:41:19 p.m.
-Ken: "I'm gonna break every water cooler I can find in the clubhouse"
8:42:49 p.m.
-Chris: "Lol this deserves a blog."
Yes, Chris, yes it does.
Un-be-liev-a-ble!!! Second time this year we've had someone lose because a game went incredible long extra innings with a big late comeback! WOW!
How is Ken going to respond to this walk-off loss?
