Sox Update ..... 3-0!
So far, so good. The Sox have won the first 3 games straight, and the first team to win 4 games is the overall winner, so keep your fingers crossed!Last night's game was a record breaker. It was the longest game ever in the World Series timewise, lasting 5 hours 41 minutes, and tied longest on the number of innings, being 14 innings, when they normally only play 9 innings.
We had gone to a local sports bar to watch, and every screen in the place was devoted to the game. The place was busy, but not as much as you would get in an English pub for a big game. We stayed til around 12.30am, then left and caught the last little bit at home. By then pretty much everyone else in the whole place had left as well. When they got to the 9th inning, they were tied on 5-5, so have to keep going til someone wins. The score stayed the same til the 14th inning, when the Sox managed to pull off an extra 2 runs, and the Astros couldn't come back from that. They must have all been really tired by then, and have to play later today again! Normally a game lasts around 3 hours, so this was a real marathon.
