I am without audio on this computer...but when I was able to listen to innings 1-3, I remember they said the wind was blowing out to left pretty nicely.....what the hell happened to that?

Make no mistake, I am in Barry Sanders mode right now. Retiring is much more attractive to me than breaking the record.

The wind is still blowing hard, so let's hope that we can use it to our advantage now...

Any of you other old-timers at the 1981 20 inning game vs. Rice? I was there . . . it was an SWC tournament game, the last game of the evening & it got started late. Seems like they called it after about 18 innings at 2am, and they finished it the next day. My foggy memory thinks that Tony Arnold pitched against Matt Ramirez (?), and they both pitched deep into extra innings. I may not have all of that quite right . . . anybody else remember it more clearly?
