Take me out to the ball game

The Rockies played at San Diego Padres last night. It was on TV here. I stayed up to watch it. After 9 inn it was O-O. After 13 inn it was O-O. Both teams scored one in the 14th. 1-1. 
In the 17th inn the Pares had to rush over to a nearby Safeway distribution center to procure more hot dogs. 
18th inn, no score
19th inn, no score; the water program turned on, water sprinklers open  on the field; latrines go dry
20th inn, no score; city busses leave
21st inn, no score, fans take their 3rd 7th inn stretch
22nd inn, Rockies score a run on two Padres errors and win 2-1
638 pitches, longest game ever for the Rockies or the Padres

.....buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack...
I won' t care if I ever get back.......

You must have been up late!! What a game. I like the trip to Safeway to get hotdogs. We can't wait for our "family affair" game in July!
Love,
