Mike wanna be 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 It's been a couple of years, at least. They hardly ever skip them, even when the Mets were really, really bad. Maybe some other network snagged the Saturday game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 I'm glad Gardenhire finally figured out Nick Punto shouldn't be a starting third basemen. With no help available at Rochester, the Twins need to make a trade for a legit third basemen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 Jon Lester was activated from the DL today and optioned to Pawtucket. He still had a rehab start remaining, which means that he is likely going to be down in the minors for a good chunk of this season. We probably won't see him up until the need absolutely arises as there would be no reason to burn an option otherwise. It's just nice to see that he has fully recovered. With Tavarez doing an admirable job as a 5th starter, there was no need to make a large roster shift. He'll get his chance in '08. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devo 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2007 After being down 7-0 earlier in the game, a Casey Blake double ties it at 7-7 in the bottom of the eighth for the Indians. It woulda been 8-7 Cleveland if David Delucci hadn't been gunned down at home plate on the play. Great game so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest George's Box Report post Posted June 12, 2007 Houston is down 1 heading into the top of the 9th, and Lee and Berkman just did some great fielding, so the rally is a foregone conclusion. EDIT: And it's Dempster, too, so all you have to do is be patient and let him beat himself. EDIT 2: Well shit, that was a miracle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 Justin Verlander has a no-hitter going against the Brewers through 5 innings in Detroit. He's struck out 8 and walked three on 70 pitches (47 of which have been strikes). Detroit currently leads 1-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 So, Elijah Dukes got a 17-year old girl that was staying with him pregnant and, when she told him about it, he "threw a Gatorade" at her. Ah...gotta love the D-Rays prospects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 Verlander still has the no-hitter going through 7 and nearly lost it on a Corey Hart line drive to right field, but Ordonez made an impressive sliding catch to keep it alive. That Elijah Dukes story is so sad yet so hilarious as well. Throwing at Gatorade? Give me a break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 Verlander will carry his no-hitter into the ninth when he will face the top of the order. The Tigers just concluded the top of the eighth with a beautiful looking 6-4-3 led by Neifi Perez. This is on track to be the shortest baseball game I've ever watched, with it probably going to clock in at two and a half hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 He has 'at least' five children with four different women. And his wife recently got a restraining order against him after he tried to murdilate her. Was Dukes the one that threw the bat at the ump last year or was that Delmon Young? I get all these trouble-ridden D-Rays prospects mixed up sometimes.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 I hope that I'm watching the Verlander no-hit bid on ESPN hasn't jinxed it. 8 1/3 innings...2 strikes to Graffanino...Strikeout. 12 Ks. JJ Hardy up next. Strike 1! Foul, strike 2! God, I hope he gets it... Foul...Hardy's tardy but stays alive. I really like Verlander... There's an Al Kaline sighting. High fly ball. He got it!

Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 Wow, Verlander completes the no-hitter and with it the best pitched baseball game that I have ever watched. I was also wondering about the ESPN jinx because I was sure it got put on there towards the end (which viva already stated). The final line for Verlander tonight: 9 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 12 K, and 4 BB on 111 pitches (76 of which were strikes). Congrats to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 For my Yahoo! fantasy league gameday thing, after each game it gives the top performer for each team. For the Detroit/Milwaukee game it reads: Top Performers: Detriot-Brandon Inge 2-2, HR, 2RBI, 2R Milwaukee-Craig Counsell 0-4 I would've given it to Billy Hall. I mean, nobody had a hit, but at least Hall had 3 BBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
