Mike,
I had the same feeling at the time when I watched this game on TV.
However, in retrospect, I suppose it only makes sense that baseball's ultimate fastball pitcher (with 27 seasons under his belt) would end his career in flames, not unlike a supernova...
Wow, that's pretty philosophical for 6:30 AM in the morning.
