"Diamonds are Forever"

I'm still bummed-a 220 foot infield fly rule invoked during the wild card fiasco i,e, one game for all the marbles. Shoulda been bases loaded with Brian McCann lumbering to the plate with a chance to tie or put the Braves ahead.

Because of the bonehead call, we'll never know what might have happened. Instead of bags juiced and one out, it became runners at second and third and two outs. McCann was pitched around and walked, and Michael Bourn struck out.

It was quite a game, however. And the barrage of beer bottles accounted for a 19 minute intermission and loads of fun.

Cos it's one, two, three strikes yer out at the old ball game. Except that diamonds are forever. And my memory of this game will never be forgotten. Perhaps, Jess,my son and his girlfriend, Heather, will fondly recall the game at some point in their young lives, as they were my guests.

Cos it's root root root for the home team....but diamonds are forever.
