The game started at 6:00 pm, but I thought it started at 7:00 pm.  Oops!

Around 14 innings I joked on Twitter about a last train rule.  Little did I know.<\/p>\n<p>After 15 innings and almost midnight, everyone left.  That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right, the game stopped.  WHAT?!?!!?  I have no idea what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s next.  There is Game 7 scheduled tomorrow.  Will they finish Game 6 first?  Will everything slide one day?  How does this work?<\/p>\n<p>A little Wikipedia research told me that in regular season games, if still tied after 12 innings, the game is declared a tie.  Apparently that is to take into account the last train.  But the equivalent of the World Series?  I guess I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s next.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.triplefstudio.com\/yokoso\/images\/nd_field.jpg\" alt=\"The home stadium\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was watching my hometown Chunichi Dragons in the Japanese equivalent of the World Series tonight.
