Longest 9 Inning Game In Baseball History
@ Feway Park 8/18/2006
Red Sox v. Yankees
What an exhausting game. My ass was tired! But it was exciting to be at the park and the atmostphere was electric.
Until the pitching fell apart, that is.
But the the real terrible part other than that they lost? The T (trolley/subway) stops running at 12:30. The game went until 1 a.m. It was rumored that they were going to provide trains until the game was over, so my mother and I drove to our closest T stop and took the train into town.
There's a T campaign out there : The Red Sox Encourage You To Take Public Transportation
And sometime in the bottom half of the seventh, a message goes up on the Diamond Vision Board: The Last T Leaves Kenmore Station at 12: 35
WHAT?
ARE YOU F'IN SHITTING ME?
HORSESHIT!
Half of the park got up and left to catch the subway or be stranded. On television it must have looked like half the fans were too disgusted to stay.
Were we disgusted with the pitching? Yes. Would we have left if we had a train waiting for us at 1 am when the game was actually over? Of course not.
HORSESHIT!!!!
And, once in the station or on the train, you'd think they'd pipe in some chat about the score or whatnot. What a buzz kill. The Red Sox Encourage You To Take Public Transportation. HORSESHIT! I'm sure the Sox had nothing to do with this gross error (this time it wasn't A Rod) and it was all the MTA, but that is so friggin' lame, I still can't believe it. Plus, what subway doesn't run all night? "We don't have the business in Boston to support a train all night. " Yes, but there's no business because there's no train for people to get around to support business. Aye, the chicken and the egg thing. Stupid holdover Puritan Boston rules.
I'm exhuasted today, I can't imagine how the Sox and Yanks feel after a double header yesterday and a game at 1 pm today.
All I know for sure is that the Sox get a B- for last night's game. If we lose today, it will be tough, but it's been done before (you may be familiar with Choke: The Yankees Biggest Post Season Collapse in Baseball History 2004)
And the T gets an F.
An F-.
Go Sox.

I think all the trains in Philly and the train from Jersey into Philly stops at midnight also. That's lame. I think it should run all night as well. what happens if you're at a good pub and don't want to leave at 12 to catch the train?
And the pain continues today for the Sox.

Will they lose 5 out of 5 at Fenway?
Perhaps they need a bobble-head giveaway.
I'll bet the taxis were doing great business that night.
dink - you suck again - in beantown and no love???
i am fed up with the T. I try to support it, but they suck. They're just catching on to the NY thing with the metro card, but they only accept it in a few stations...and then you have to buy tokens for the other stations. it's a mess.
