Chandlers.
The finish was incredible and the crowd was insanely electric and JD’s fingerprints were all over this one, including the final kill shot, and it was emotional and dramatic and, finally, at the end, uplifting, and everyone piled together at center stage, bouncing up and down and celebrating with the rest of us.
And then “Heathers 101: High School Edition” was over, and we walked from the auditorium out to the parking lot.
Zero exaggeration: We got in the car, and the radio came on with Eric Nadel in mid-sentence, calling Jonathan Lucroy’s walkoff shot.
That triggered the Pudge entry late last night, as Texas 7, Oakland 6 dropped the Rangers’ Magic Number to 7.
An hour after that: Houston 6, Seattle 0, and the Magic Number took another hit, sending me on the hunt for this photo:

It was Adi's night and it was Trevor's night and Erica's night, too, and it was Jonathan's night and Carlos & Carlos's, and dozens of others on both stages. It was a night of #pizza7 and 7-Eleven, of fireworks and fireworks, and a night of #NeverEverQuit, and of "Lets make it beautiful."
It was also a night of Chandler’s, at least for some of us, and the cool thing is we get to do it all over again tonight, and then tomorrow afternoon. There’s something super-special going on.
Big fun.
