LET'S PLAY TWO! POINT FOUR! Nice 22-inning, 6 1/4-hour game in San Diego last night (and this morning), with no scoring until the 14th (when both teams put one up) and then no more scoring until the 22nd, when Willy Tavares came home unearned on an error, steal, error, and double. Both teams played everybody on the active roster who wasn't a starting pitcher. How bad was the offense in this game? Colorado had 27 plate appearances -- an entire perfect game's worth -- by players batting below the Mendoza line. And they won.

ETA: SPECIAL BONUS ALOTT5MA GIVEAWAY! ALOTT5MA Hyde Park Bureau Chief Marsha has one extra ticket for the Cubs-Mets games in Chicago on Monday night (7:05 start time) and Tuesday afternoon (1:20 start time).

You are, however, free to make fun of her husband or children for rooting for the Mets. Marsha cannot guarantee your security in the event of an assault by marauding Ligues.
