unless you care that the jays' line up today was sub-major league

"they may have run the kentucky derby today, but the detroit horse...was number one", says one of the detroit announcers.

every day now huh..

annibal sanchez thru 6

altho honestly is livan the best hitter in this lineup y/n

R Bernadina CF
I Desmond SS
L Nix RF
A LaRoche 1B
M Morse LF
J Hairston Jr. 3B
I Rodriguez C
D Espinosa 2B
L Hernandez P

oh well

tbh, announcing at 6 seems a little early to me. it gets exciting at 7 imho.

have there been way more "starting pithers that are doing very well" this year? regardless of whether you put that at 6 or 7, or 8 or whatever? it seems like noticeably more this year...

the marlins have already taken a no hitter into the 7th four separate times

average runs per game definitely seems lowerish (around 4 i think) than normal

good article (nb from last year) about trend in pitching dominance: http://students.com.miami.edu/netreporting/?page_id=1266

verlander no hit through 4 or 13 :/

“When I eventually told them that, yes, a perfect game is ultimately more impressive, they said, ‘Have you ever tried doing that?’” Verlander continued. “I love them like crazy, but sometimes I don’t know why I bother trying to share my life with them.”

The guy pitching in place of sore-shouldered Liriano through seven.

(One walk, though.)

turning on now.

broken up on a 99 MPH pitch, ouch.

(One walk, though.)

He had also hit a batter.

Oh well.

lily tomlin no hitting yanks through 5

I enjoyed Shaun Marcum's grand slam immensely (1st HR of his career).

harang taken out after 6IP 95 pitches 3bb 0hits (0-0 game)

injury?

coming off injury, being careful

the padres have never thrown a no-no

lame

leave him in

There is a possibility the Dodgers could win this without getting a hit.

< / Aggressive Jinxing >

strange game.

Juan Uribe!

e. santana thru 7

wow, dominant 8th

whoa

wait lol they have a run? fuck this bullshit

only shitty no-hitters this year

yeah, it was error/steal/advance on groundout/wild pitch, that's smallball baby

i wanna see the indians make the playoffs anyway

damn, santana is working fast. one out away.

got it!

nice job!

Verlander again?

Interesting game.

Summary:

Weaver allegedly mouthing off all day, as he does.

Guillen pimped a HR.

Weaver immediately threw at the head of the next hitter.

Weaver and Scioscia ejected.

Aybar led off following inning with bunt attempt (E-1).

(Some people believe Weaver thought Maggs was styling on an earlier HR.)

was it actually an error or was it a generous ruling by the scorer

And another E-1.
