Mets vs Marlins is going to the 18th inning.
My wife is still alive, she just went grocery shopping and would give me shit about 18 innings of baseball. 6+ hours!!

(20,176 posts)I can safely guess that if this goes on too much longer, that team will be the loser. Either that RP's arm is going to fall off, they're going to have to relieve him with a position player or perhaps dip into whichever starter is most well rested and not starting a game tomorrow.
IN any case, it looks bad for them.

American League record: 25 innings in a 7-6 victory by the Chicago White Sox over the Milwaukee Brewers in 1984.
Professional baseball record: 33 innings in 1981 between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings (Orioles).
