The crazy thing is your pitching hasn't been as bad as it will be in the near future. John Maine, Oliver Perez, El Duque and Jorge Sosa are all severely outperforming their own abilities, and when they come crashing down, it's going to be ugly.

 

 

I'll give you Maine, Sosa, and maybe El Duque (only cuz I doubt he'll stay healthy for long), but I think Oliver's the real deal. He's always had great stuff, just lacked the command. Peterson has really helped with the latter. I'd be worried about Glavine, too, but I hate the Mets. They do still have Pedro on the horizon.

So that's how you guys celebrate over there, huh?

How do the Red Sox celebrate a no-hitter? Wave off the catcher with 2 out in the ninth, and then . . . oh never mind.

I'm a tiger season ticket holder. Yeah, I'm a Tiger season ticket holder who, because of a weekly commitment, sold all his Tuesday night games. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

 

Miller, Verlander and Bonderman for the next 4-6 years. As George Kell would say, "look OUT!"

Yes. And "naily."

 

I read Verlander was hitting 100 with his fastball last night at times. Yipes.

The gun hit 102 on a pitch in the ninth inning.

I seem to recall that this was against the White Sox in Commisky and it was a perfect game. Is that correct?

I was at a game in San Diego in 2001 when Schilling (w/ Arizona) was 4 or 5 outs from completing a perfect game and a Padre (I think it was catcher Ben Davis) bunted a little squibbler to get on base. There were some people (besides the Diamondbacks) a little miffed by that.

Fuck 'em. It's nobody's duty to lay down for a pitcher just because he's about to complete a no-hitter or perfect game. I don't care if it was 1-0 or 10-0 -- if you can get yourself on base somehow, do it, whether it's a bunt or whatever.

 

Otherwise, who cares about a no-hitter/perfect game? I mean, if the other team is actually collaborating in some way, why is it even an achievement?
