It was such a fun game! We got there early for the beach tote so it felt like a little longer. :-)

Shortest game I ever saw in person came when Luke Hochevar, who never threw another quality start in his life, threw an 80-pitch complete game shutout for the Royals (when they were bad before they were good).

Did they skip an inning or something?

Lots of first pitch ground outs

I hate the new rules (time clock on pitches among them).

Was someone double parked?

The bus to the airport, the Mets wanted to get out of DC faster than a senator for August recess

I have no idea what the standings are, having given up on baseball, but if I start with a guess of how the Mets are doing I can imagine.

Headed to the Nats/Cards game in just a moment, given the heat, I’ll be okay with a shorter event!

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!

I remember watching a Mets game there in 2003 that went a little over two hours. Mostly a pitchers' duel between Leiter and Wood, but the Cubs scored early and held on.

That's Wrigley?? Why do I not remember the buildings around it being so tall.

Ohhh these buildings are the ones across the street you can sit on the rooftops huh, duh. At first glance I thought they were seats in the stadium The other buildings are just the city proper.
You can see the ivy.

That's a beautiful shot. (Also note, when you're as good as Dansby Swanson you can play at the edge of the grass and still get to everything.) ⚾

Thank you for keeping the offense 🔥
