That was the first game I've watched start to finish in a really long time. At hour 4 and the millionth pitcher change, I commented about how long games are getting. And then just like that, the game ended in dramatic fashion. That's the beauty of baseball! It's a long novel that unfolds chapter by chapter with character and plot changes and an ending that can be really hard to predict. Baseball can be boring, until at any second it is not. I really love this game.
My son actually doesn't like to watch pro sports, just play them. But he stayed up with us to watch, and walked away more pumped than ever to be a part of this game. He was a little kid again with major league dreams.
I didn't notice the whistling but did think their soundtrack was off now and then. I noticed it was a near empty stadium more often than in either games.
