In Extra Innings, Lead-Off Walks Usually Score, Unless They Don't

I don't know if that's a Yogi Berra quote, but I like it. The Braves game went into overtime, and the opposing pitcher walked the first batter of the 11th. As I write this, the inning isn't over, so we don't know if he'll score (winning the game) or not.

While we're on sports, Lee would probably get mad if I didn't mention his nice sports metaphor today. We were discussing some of the UTSI lab guys. One guy works in this lab, another works in that lab. Lee and Heather then mentioned another guy, who Lee aptly described as a "utility player" - he sort of had responsibilities all over the place. He spoiled it by waiting for me to congratulate him on the sports reference, but it was a nice effort.

Well, the leadoff walk didn't work, and the Astros took the lead in the 12th. It's now the bottom of the inning, and the Braves have tied it again. There aren't enough players left for this game to go much longer. That only stops All-Star games, so something will give at some point. My game, my team, my south. Go Braves.

Good grief, this is a long game. I've been watching while writing this, and it's taken me what seems like hours to get back around to writing with each break. I'm going to have to stop writing, just so I can get ready to go to bed. More tomorrow.
