Rags Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm the Athletics leading the series 3-1 with the chance to win the world series here at Shea Stadium it's Barry Zito Vs Pedro, both pitched gems thru 8 innings...a 0-0 tie and Billy Wagner is brought in in the 9th Wagner walks Bobby Crosby to begin the inning, I traded for Griffey so he's up next. Griffey grounds into a routine double play and the mets 2nd basemen throws the ball into LEFT FIELD, EVERYBODYS SAFE! Next A's batter strikes out, now Eric Chavez is up. He hits a 100mph fastball up the middle, Crosby rounds 3rd to come home and is gunned by Beltran at CF, essentially saving the game. However, its a double so now Griffey and Chavez are at 3rd and 2nd respectively and 2 out. Jason Kendall is intentionally walked to get to Dan Johnson, the lefty/lefty matchup Dan Johnson gets a fastball, he hits it!!! It's going, going, going, going!!!!!!!!! all the way to the warning track so i'm still playing but that was one of the most exciting innings i've ever played in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 12th inning, I hit a HR with Jason Kendall....we're going into the bottom of the 12th with Huston Street to close it out and he blows his 1st save of the playoffs Beltran reaches on a Eric Chavez fielding error and then ends up scoring on a david wright single...Street retires the rest to head to the 13th! what a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 so it finally ends! Dan Johnson hit a HR in the top of the 14th of shingo takatsu, and the mets couldn't score another run on street Oakland Athletics are the champs that was seriously one of the best games i've played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdub Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Nice. Extra inning World Series games are the most intense, with the most satisfaction when you win, especially in a game like that where neither team wants to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
