even in my dreams the NL loses

July 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Last night was the MLB All-Star Game, which the AL won 3-4 after 15 innings of battle.

However, I only lasted until the 12th.  Well, more accurately, I lasted until the 9th, fell asleep, and woke up in the 12th and turned the TV off.  I proceeded to have at least two dreams about the “final outcome” of the game.

In the first one, the AL got off to a quick start in the 13th and won on a home run.

I had a second dream in which the game went to 17 innings and the AL won 14-15.  I also remember looking up the box score and saw the following:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 R
NL 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 7 0 14
AL 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 7 1 15

Wow!  That’s a heck of a lot of scoring in extra innings.  Perfectly symmetrical scoring never solves anything in baseball, though.  I also “read” a story on how the winning AL run was a controversial call involving David Wright and Ryan Howard.  Nevermind the fact that Ryan Howard wasn’t even an All-Star this year.

And of course, I found out the real score when I woke up, and the NL defeat matched the NL defeats in my dreams.
