No words. Well, only a few.

I just threw on some clothes over my pajamas, including my Geo t-shirt, and RAN across the street to the library so I could watch that last inning again and again and again (my laptop is ancient and slow and has trouble with videos.)

Before that, I called my parents and begged them to TiVo any and all post-game coverage. "What did he do? How did he react? What was it like?" I said. "He fell on his knees and gave thanks to the Lord," my mother said, in a tone that implied I should definitely have known that already.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing this. And this is making me tear up. I have no idea what's going to happen during the rest of the season; I'm just glad we got to see what happened tonight.

ETA: to fix photo link, and because Jessie reminded me of the game notes from Yahoo!Sports, which first set me off into fits of weeping:

THE HOME RUN BY CHICAGO LEFT FIELDER ALFONSO SORIANO LED OFF THE GAME.

CHICAGO PITCHER CARLOS ZAMBRANO HAS A NO-HITTER THROUGH SEVEN INNINGS.
