Like General Grievous’s Invisible Hand Providence-class Dreadnought that Anakin Skywalker expertly landed on a Coruscant runway in the opening act of Revenge of the Sith, the Guardians started the night as a juggernaut running on all cylinders and ended as a smoldering, half-broken shell of itself that somehow didn’t blow up on impact.
And like Anakin Skywalker, who I’m sure went on to do some charity work or something after the ordeal (I don’t know I never watched the films), the Guardians somehow walked away victorious.
Somehow, despite the last 20 batters going down without getting on base, despite their starting pitcher imploding like a dying star, and despite the opposing team loading the bases with one out in the bottom of the eighth, the Guardians won tonight, 3-2.
