and the meltdown continues..

the red sox, like the Titanic 100 years ago just got hit by a very big iceberg called the baltimore orioles!

they played 17 innings just to be broomed by the resurging o's!



and i just havta post this tweet from lordofthedrum93. and i quote..

Take that, #RedSox! Our 1st baseman is a better pitcher than your backup outfielder! Suck it! #Orioles

haha what a meltdown by the red sox. When I saw the scores earlier, I said they will win this one for sure but then when I check my phone again, the lead was cut to one and I immediately open my tv to watch and all I can see was a barrage of hits by yankees

as for the perfect game. wow

[•lex•]

Congratulations to Josh Hamilton for being the 16th player to be able to hit 4 home runs in one game. He certainly beat my fantasy team big time

[•lex•]

Oh great. The Jays are now with 3 straight loss. They are up against the Yankees tomorrow. GOOOODDDDLLLLUUUCCCCKKKK!

[foofan]

Yankees got blown out by the Blue Jays today. Happy about the Orioles' resurgence. Texas is really killing it out there.

Still hoping for a world series match-up between my teams: Yankees and Braves.

Saint Louis, Missouri, April 1931...

They say shaky defense up the middle loses ballgames, but in Wes Ferrell's case, they keep no-hitters. Against the very first batter, shortstop Bill Hunnefield botched a play, a routine grounder hit towards him, and as the game progressed, things didn't get better. In the 8th inning, with Ferrell well on his way to attaining baseball notoriety, St. Louis Browns catcher Rick Ferrell- Wes' brother!- hit a shot to his brother's right. Hunnefield ranged to his side and was able to catch the ball as it got past the third baseman, but was unable to get the slow-footed runner out, as the throw pulled the first baseman off the bag. Lew Fonseca, the first baseman, had no trouble catching the ball- it just arrived too late, and pulled him off the bag. Inexplicably, the official scorer ruled the somewhat routine play an error, preserving Ferrell's no-hit bid. As an addendum, the very next play led to another Bill Hunnefield fielding error, his third in the game. Ferrell got out of the jam in the 8th, and completed the no hitter, with a little help of course.

Bronx, New York, October 1956...

The only perfect game to ever be thrown in the World Series, Don Larsen wasn't exactly perfect that fateful afternoon at Yankee Stadium. Seemingly, like all other no-hitters, an excellent play in the outfield kept the bid in tact, and ramped up the tension. Coming into the 9th inning, Larsen was still perfect, not allowing a single base runner. With two outs, manager Walt Alston elected to pinch hit for pitcher Sal Maglie, and Dale Mitchell came up to the plate. With two strikes, Larson ended the game on a punch out. But, in reality, the pitch was outside. Very outside. Mitchell clearly checked his swing and didn't go around. He was called out nonetheless, and Larsen had his perfect game.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 1970...

Bill Singer allowed only a single base runner through seven innings, via a hit by pitch. In the 8th, Phillies third baseman Don Money hit a squibbler down the third base line, a la Jimmy Qualls and Paul Hoover. Singer ran over to field it himself, and desperately fired to first. The fleet footed Money would have beaten the throw, even if Singer's throw hadn't been off target and pulled Wes Parker off of first. The play was ruled an error, however. Singer got through the 8th and 9th, successfully spinning a no-hitter.

San Francisco, California, August 1975...

The Mets played a doubleheader against the Giants that day. The second game ended with the Mets being on the receiving end of a no-hitter, thrown by Ed Halicki. Halicki struck out ten batters and walked two, while allowing no hits over the course of the night, but ran into some controversy in the 5th inning. Rusty Staub hit a comebacker right up the middle that hit Halicki himself and bounced off of his leg and rolled towards second base. The Giants second baseman, Derrel Thomas recovered the ball and fired it to first. Staub beat out the throw. Moments later, the play was controversially ruled the play an error on Thomas, preserving the no-hit bid.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 1978...

Cardinals pitcher Bob Forsch had allowed only two walks, one in the 5th and one in the 7th as he took the mound in the 8th. Phillies centerfielder Garry Maddox led off the inning with a hopper down the line that Ken Reitz looked like he was going to snag. But, the otherwise defensively proficient Reitz simply missed the ball. As he reached out, he missed and the ball got past him. Though Reitz never actually got his hands on the ball, it was somehow ruled an error. Forsch erased the base runner with a double play, and finished the inning, and the 9th without allowing a(nother) hit.

Chicago, Illinois, August 1991...

In his last year with the Kansas City Royals, soon-to-be Met Brett Saberhagen was shutting the White Sox down in a game that would eventually see him walk two and strike out five in a 7-0 rout. With one out in the 5th, Dan Pasqua hit a line drive to left field that Kirk Gibson got a late jump on. As he ran to track it down, he stuck his glove out, but was too far to catch it. Instead, it just nicked off his glove and rolled to the wall, allowing Pasqua to reach second. The official scorer ruled the play an error, despite the fact that is was almost painfully clearly a hit, that Gibson simply wasn't there and that he didn't make an error. Saberhagen worked out of that jam, and finished the game without allowing a hit, entering into the no-hit club.

Chicago, Illinois, April 2011...

Brad Penny was cruising along, with six innings under his belt. One out, and Brent Morel stepped to the plate. The ball came Brendon Inge's way, and he scooped up the ball, throwing it off-balance to first baseman Miguel Cabrera. Cabrera couldn't handle the throw, and Morel got on base. The ruling? A hit. It was anything but a clear call, however, the official scorer could have just as easily ruled it an error. Penny finished up the inning without allowing any hits, and was pulled from the game with seven scoreless, "one-hit" innings under his belt, but had the official scorer ruled differently, who knows what could have happened that afternoon.
