The game was scoreless until the 12th when Bret Prinz walked the bases loaded and gave up a run. Felix Heredia then came in and gave up a liner into right field to Brian Giles that was booted by Sheffield which allowed 2 runs to score and Giles to go all the way to third. Heredia got out of the inning down 5-2. The Padres then brought in Rod Beck to try and close it out but he gave up 2 runs to make the game 5-4. Jay Witasick was then brought in to try and stop the bleeding but the Jorge Posada laced a ground rule double down the right field line tying the game at 5 and sending Giambi to third. Matsui was intentionally walked to try and set up the double play but Ruben Sierra pinch hit for Enrique Wilson and blasted a deep sac fly to center to chase in Giambi. The Yanks won 6-5.
WHAT A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Yankees-Padres game just finished after a 12 inning marathon filled with dramatics. It was a great pitchers duel to start with David Wells going for the Pads and Javier Vazquez starting for the yanks. Vazquez went 8 gave up two runs, struck out 8 and walked none. Wells went 7 I think and shut the Yanks out. The Padres took their 2-0 lead into the 9th where they turned to their closer Trevor Hoffman. Hoffman retired the first two Yankees and then Hideki Matsui came up with 2 out and none on. Matsui had been in a 3-32 slump but belted a homer deep into the right field bleachers. Torre had Sierra on deck to pinch hit for Clark but after the Matsui homer called him back and sent Lofton up and put Sierra on the on deck circle for Cairo. Lofton then blasts another homer to right to tie the game at 2. Torre then calls back Sierra and sends Cairo back up.The game was scoreless until the 12th when Bret Prinz walked the bases loaded and gave up a run.

How great was that game at the end of the world series against the Diamondbacks? Marlins? :P

Somehow I knew with a title like "WHAT A GAME!" that it might be about the Yankees winning...How great was that game at the end of the world series against the Diamondbacks? Marlins? :P

Diamondbacks series was great but I boycotted last year's series since I'm a Tribe fan.

Although I wasn't alive during the 54 series, I am still mad about the Giants beating the Indians

I'm still pissed about Marquis Grissom hitting that three-run jack off Armando Benitez in Game 2 of the '97 ALCS, but I don't hold it against the Indians. I would like to remind everyone though that prior to Grissom's at bat, Benitez struck out Jim Thome on a check swing--TWICE--and the umpire missed it both times. Grissom should've never batted in that inning and the Indians never should've gone to the World Series.

Hollandsworth faceplants the wall in right to catch a wicked hit from Kotchman, but he holds on for the third out in the 12th. The Cubs have to rely on untested (2nd ML appearance) John Leicester to finish, he was the last man in the pen... They pushed on across in the 15th, and Leicester holds on for his first ML win... Great game, there must be nothing like that feeling when you look at the bullpen and see nobody throwing... You know its all your game to win.

The Cubs game was great, they were up 4-1, the Angels came back to tie it in the bottom of the eighth, it goes into extra innings and the Cubs push one across in the 11th, only to have the Angels do the same in their half...Hollandsworth faceplants the wall in right to catch a wicked hit from Kotchman, but he holds on for the third out in the 12th.

The Yankees are a different story, if they stack the deck and win, I get pissed. Especially when their fans get all excited about victories and titles. They have yet to realize that it isn't an accomplishment to succeed when you can have nearly any player you want.

I don't understand why some people hold grudges against certain teams for a long time, I never stay angry at a team for beating my team, they are there to win just as much, on an even playing field I don't begrudge success.The Yankees are a different story, if they stack the deck and win, I get pissed.
