It’s all my fault. Sometime late in the 6th inning, I wrote this:
This may be the fastest moving Sox – Yanks game I’ve ever seen

God, I was so stupid. Because I then went and watched the first episode of Daredevil, and when that was over, we turned to ABC WHAM-13 (which the Yankee game was simulcasting on here in Rochester) expecting to see the end of the news. And not only was the game on and in extra innings, they were in a blackout delay because of some problems with the lights.
MLB blackout rules have gone too far. #Yankees — Ben Collin (@bennyc50) April 11, 2015
And when they did start again, the game went on, and on… and on…
Guys, I think Mark Buehrle will be a Hall of Famer one day. — Dan J. Glickman (@DanJGlickman) April 11, 2015
Also, this game may still be going on during his induction speech.

David Ortiz hit a home run, but the Yankees then tied it up. The game went to the 17th inning.
It will be graduating high school when the #Yankees–#RedSox game is over. https://t.co/yda7aqT3zH — Dan J. Glickman (@DanJGlickman) April 11, 2015
On the bright side of things, proving the existence of purgatory tonight is the greatest theological advancement in centuries.

Some began to lose it:
I WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER IT IS PANDAS EAT IS IT BAMBOO I THINK IT IS BAMBOO BUT I AM SO TIRED I CANNOT BE SURE

Other became philosophical:
We have, all of us, achieved a measure of dreams and nightmares

Some tried to look towards survival:
Xander Bogaerts has stolen second base and is attempting to barter it for provisions. — Adam Jacobi (@Adam_Jacobi) April 11, 2015
But, eventually, it finally ended:
IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER! IT’S FINALLY OVER! #BOSvsNYY

It’s over. Goodness gracious, it’s over. What do we do with our lives now? — Laura Albanese (@AlbaneseLaura) April 11, 2015
What do we do, indeed. Oh, and kudos to Dutch actress Clarice Van Houten (AKA Melisandre from Game of Thrones), who proved her Honkbal cred by staying for the entire game:

And now…maybe, we can go to sleep.
NAAAAAAHHHH, more games start today at one! We can sleep during the off-season!
