In retrospect it gets harder to separate out the terrible quality of play. Fielding was simply bad. Bad base running. Bad decision making. Bad pitching.
Still a fabulously exciting game, but after 7 hours or so I am feeling that it fails a bit because it was just so ugly.

It was great tv but a horrible game. Two teams both playing bad but an exciting ending. Not even in the Top 10 in my mind. The 1975 Red Sox win and 1991 Twins win are 1-2 in my book.
