The Rockies are improving from a very shaky start. We beat the Pads in an insane 22 innings, and it took over 6 hours to play. Anyone know what the record for the longest game is in terms of innings?

Close, but not quite:

A couple of 25 inning gems, and even a 26 inning one.
You should read the book "The Iowa Baseball Confederacy" which is about a mythical game in the early 1900s that lasted over 2000 innings!

I saw a game back in the mid/late 90's with the Angels that went 20 innings or something like that...I can't remember whom they were playing though...

I feel like I'm trapped in a time warp. I'm seeing September of 2007 every time I watch a Mets game. Take an early lead, then turn it over to the bullpen after 6 innings so they can blow it. Add in an offense that's hitting near the Mendoza line with men in scoring position, an "all star" first baseman that can't seem to hit a baseball and doesn't seem to care, and a manager who is apparently blind to it all. I may have to become a Yankees fan!

Max Scherzer made his debut for the DBacks last night. He pitched in relief and threw 4.1 perfect innings, with 7 strikeouts. Hopefully they get him in the rotation!

Well the Dodgers are doing well. Swept the Rockies and beat the Marlins last night. They have a series against the Mets coming up this weekend.

good point that is tough era. #1 team in my league does too but it won't stay there, he has some hot pitchers. he'll do well though. i spent way too much time prepping for the draft and predicting stats etc this year so it'll be fun to see how well things turn out for me.

All right! 2 out of 3 from the D-backs! I'll take that. And Delgado finally looks like he might be coming around. Alou comes back and Delgado starts hitting, hmmm, coincidence? I don't think so. People were looking for him to be the leader in Alou's absence and maybe the pressure got to him.

Coulda been. What do you think about that pitching performance by Dan Haren yesterday? It was pretty good, eh?

As a Mets fan, I wasn't too crazy about it. But keep in mind, striking out 7 Mets is no big deal. At least not so far this year.
