Unbelievable Comebacks

Baseball fans are doing a lot of head scratching today after the Dodgers pulled off one the more incredible comebacks during a pennant chase. Trailing 9-5 to the Padres in the bottom of the 9th, the Dodgers cracked 4 homeruns to tie the game sending it to extra innings. In the 10th the Padres took the lead only to watch Nomar Garciaparra rip a 2 run homer in the bottom of the inning for the victory. It's only the 4th time in major league history 4 players have hit consecutive homeruns; the last time way back in 1964 when the Twins beat the Kansas City Athletics in 11 innings. Now the question comes what next? The improbable victory puts the Dodgers back in 1st place in the NL West by only 1/2 game over the Padres. The Padres currently hold the Wild Card berth, but 6 teams including the Astros are breathing down their necks. With only 13 games remaining, this could be one of the wildest endings to the baseball season.
