Baseball goose hangs out to watch baseball, as Dodgers and Padres saw a friendly waterfowl descend on Game 2

• A goose landed on the field during Wednesday night's game between the Dodgers and Padres.
• It was a big goose, and sparked a lively conversation on Twitter.

Have you heard the news?

Sure, October baseball is in full swing. Every pitch, every hit, every home run matters more right now. Tensions are high, especially between the Dodgers and Padres, who are divisional rivals battling for a spot in the NLCS.

But nevermind any of that. There are more important matters to be heard.

Because on Wednesday night, there was a baseball goose.

On Twitter, the vibes were electric.

Sure, the Dodgers were attempting to mount a comeback against the Padres, while San Diego was desperately trying to hang on to their lead and tie the series with a win. But no baseball observers seemed to care much about that when there was a goose on the field!

While many (myself included) prophesied the possibility of this being a potential "Rally Goose" for the Dodgers, that prediction fell flat.

Turns out it was just a goose.
