Gary Cole IS Satan

I thought he was Lumberg. Or Phil Ken Sebben.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

...longest game in World Series history... (bottom of 13th)

14th now.

And Blum just dialed 9.

But if it is an Astros postseason appearance, a mega-long game is de rigeur.

White Sox won.

Longest WS game by time. Ties the record for longest WS game by innings, set in 1914 (Babe Ruth pitched a full game).

Ironically, 1914 was the last time a team that was 15 games under at any point during the season still made the World Series. 1914 was the year of the Miracle Braves (who may have had some help from some gambling interests).

ETA: Actually, it was Game 2 of the 1916 WS. (I thought wait, Ruth didn't play for the Braves until the tail end of his career.) Ruth threw a 14-inning complete game -- and beat Sherry Smith, who threw 13 1/3 innings. It was Brooklyn's first Series appearance (as the Robins, not the Dodgers).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And I thought I was gonna watch Supernatural after the game. I'd probably end up with dreams about slasher baseball players (which is not remotely related to baseball player slash).
