Tonight I witnessed my favorite team give a batter an intentional walk after the count was 1-2 in the 12th inning. And it was done because the manager was scared that because his pitcher hung a curveball, that he shouldn't pitch to that batter. Never mind that if that happened after every hung curveball, no baseball game would ever end.
Tonight I also witnessed the Mets lose a 15 inning death struggle to an awful Marlins squad with their best pitcher on the mound after they had one run leads in the ninth and the fifteenth innings. It's nights like this that I wonder why I didn't grow up interested in muscle cars or optometry as a hobby. No. I had to love baseball.
