Ari Cohn: I can't quite remember exactly, but either the game Kerry Wood struck out 20 or the next game when Jon Lieber struck out nearly that many was, I believe, longer.

Beautiful day for a ballgame

2 hours and 6 minutes is just an insanely fast baseball game

I can't quite remember exactly, but either the game Kerry Wood struck out 20 or the next game when Jon Lieber struck out nearly that many was, I believe, longer.

Ah I think I got my dates mixed up on when the Lieber game happened, but I was right about Kerry's 20 k game--that one was 2:19

Now I'm just talking to myself in your replies (sorry!) but I was way crossed on the Lieber game. That was in 2001, and it wasn't a high strikeout game, it was a one-hitter that Kerry followed up with a 14K one-hitter of his own the next day. Both of those games were under 2 hours!
