[size=18:3e53d73b7e][b:3e53d73b7e]Game of the Week #4[/b:3e53d73b7e][/size:3e53d73b7e]
[i:3e53d73b7e]04/10/2006 - 04/16/2006[/i:3e53d73b7e]

These are getting tougher and tougher to pick.

Let's play 2.2222! 10 scoreless innings passed from the 7th until the 18th, when the Haarlem Voorvechters finally broke through with 2 in the top half of the inning. Apparently that served as a little motivation for the Brew Crew I, who promptly tied it back up with 2 in the bottom half. The game ended mercifully after 20 innings, after which Ernie Banks was heard saying, "I don't understand how you people can play so much baseball."

Opening day didn't turn out that great for me: Mariano Rivera blows his first save chance of the season in the bottom of the 9th, my team turns a triple play in the bottom of the 11th only to give up a game winning home run in the bottom of the 12th to the first batter.

Texeira hits for the cycle, going 5 for 5 with a game winning HR in the 10th inning. 2 Singles, 1 Double & 1 Triple.

It was 0-0 after 12 innings! Then both teams score 2 runs in the 13th.. then finally my team gets 8 runs in the 16th to win the game.

To top it off, Pedro, my starter, goes 11 innnings, 6 hits, 0 ER, 11K's and stioll doesn't get the win!
