Cross up.  How does that happen.

Maybe the baseball gods have decided nobody wins?

There might be no winners, but someone always loses.

Lakins has been good this year.

Now we go to the pen.

[allquixotic]

Amending my list of ridiculousness:

A "Suspended" game that will resume in the 6th inning with the O's having a 5-3 lead, caused by the Nats grounds crew deploying the tarp incorrectly.

Cutouts in the stands. Alcohol-free Budweiser. Man on second at the start of extras. A dropped pop-up. Bad outings by three Orioles relievers who've been decent of late. A failed attempt to steal home (after review). Poor broadcasting. 

(In the 9th) the Phils tied it up, and the home team production crew let the cheering be dead silent while waiting for the pitch in a situation where the Phils could have won. With real fans it would have been deafeningly loud.

Game's been on long enough that my FiOS gave me the idle warning.

A LEADOFF in-the-park two-run home run. The first ever in baseball history with all those qualifiers attached to it.

A pitch that would've been a double play bounces off of Fry's spike for a hit.

A cross-up that advances the runners.

LOL!

[O's84]

Anybody with a heart condition shouldn't be watching this game.
