For anyone who fell asleep and was woken up by the sound of fireworks a few minutes ago, the game’s over. You can go to bed now.
The Cleveland Indians lost in walk-off fashion to the Chicago White Sox in what can only be described as a mercy killing. If Daniel Palka didn’t crush Neil Ramirez’s weak attempt at a pitch 389 feet, we could be on the verge of having the most unwatchable game of baseball in recent memory go into extra innings. That seems like a crime.
This game had the ungodly mix of two pitches not exactly at their A-game with rising pitch counts, but not enough that the opposing offense could pounce for a big, exciting inning.
