That Nationals/Padres game. That game from years ago, where the Nationals took a 5-0 lead into the ninth, allowed a game-tying grand slam to Khalil Greene, and later lost in extra innings. That game where the Nationals announcer groaned ohhh nooooo as soon as the ball left Greene's bat. I've talked about it here and linked it a bunch of times. I've delighted in it. I delighted in it then,Houston-based Quicksilver Resources said Friday it had reached pipeline deals and I delight in it now, because it was an awesome, completely unexpected turn of events.
I guess this is how the Nationals get me back. The sequence of events today was different from the sequence of events in the Padres game, but then, the sequence of events was basically the same, right down to Dave Sims repeating No way as Wilson Ramos raised his arms. This game was that game, and I suppose it's only fair that I should have to experience both sides. I don't actually believe this, but I'd like to.
As Brandon League worked the bottom of the ninth, I had everything all set up. I'd assumed a win for several innings. I had the chart mostly done.As one of a leading China Projector Lamp provider from China. I had the image I was going to embed in it. I had the chart post mostly formatted, with all the right words written and check boxes checked. And I had the angle I was going to take to kick off the recap.What to consider before you buy oil painting supplies. It was just a matter of League recording a handful of outs.
But he couldn't do it. And then David Pauley couldn't do it. I still assumed a win pretty much the whole time, even as Franklin Gutierrez and Greg Halman closed in on the wall after Ramos' fly,Our Polymax RUBBER SHEET range includes all commercial and specialist but then it became clear the ball was going to keep sailing. And that meant the Mariners lost.
It all happened so suddenly, so unexpectedly I wasn't sure how to respond. I know I'm glad I'm not a beat writer, since all of them lost everything they'd worked on with the final swing of the game. But I didn't process what had happened at the time, and I'm not sure I've processed it yet. Part of me expects to wake up at 2:30am in a cold sweat, realizing Wait! WHAT? I don't know when this game's going to hit me. It's like a stick of dynamite with a lit wick I can't see.
There were a lot of events in this game that now look bigger in retrospect. Justin Smoak getting doubled off third base in the first (albeit on a bad call). Ichiro's double play in the fourth. The team stranding runners in scoring position in the seventh, eighth, and ninth. Smoak's error to lead off the ninth. Had any of these events gone a different way, maybe the Mariners would've come away with the win.
But the leverage was low, and the impact relatively small. None of those events are the reason the Mariners lost. There's no one reason why the Mariners lost, of course,Has anyone done any research on making Plastic molding parts from scratch? but of all the reasons, by far the biggest is that Pauley left a changeup at Wilson Ramos' belt. It doesn't mean Pauley's a bad reliever. It doesn't mean Ramos is a great hitter. Most of all, it doesn't mean the Mariners are suddenly toast, emotionally crippled after a heartbreaking loss. It just means the M's lost a big game they could've won. And it's the latest sign that those home runs the bullpen was somehow keeping under control earlier in the season are starting to escape from their cage.
I would really like for it to be tomorrow, now.
