But those dimes come from our viewers, and we can't bring you terrific programming like Jarrod and his slippery Love Dolphin without your support, so please call now.
Halladay confirms that regardless, his days as a Blue Jay are numbered.
According to Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi, Roy Halladay told the team that he would test free agency when his contract runs up after the 2010 season.
According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXsports.com, the Indians and Rays have discussed a deal that would send Cliff Lee to Tampa Bay.
Morosi writes that Indians general manager Mark Shapiro is asking for multiple high-end prospects in exchange for Lee. Wade Davis is believed to be the object of Shapiro’s affections, but Tampa Bay is reportedly balking at that idea. A source said that the Rays were trying to involve a third team to satisfy Cleveland’s pitching demands. Stay tuned.
IT WAS A 3-0 COUNT AND YOU SWUNG AND POPPED IT UP YOU FUCKING FUCK HOW COULD YOU FUCKING SUCK SO BAD. JESUS PLATYPUS HUMPING CHRIST YOU STUPID FOB YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVEN HOW MUCH YOU ARE A TALENTLESS CLOWN EXCREMENT
There are elements of the fanbase that are against it, but not as many as one would imagine and a lot of folks on the M’s beat seem to be at least okay with it.
When he said that he A.) Might retire in two years because its not all about money and B.) he would NEVER play for the Sox or Yankees unless he got traded there, i gained an immense amount of respect for him.
If you’re signed into MLB.tv, go to the Gameday for the sox game. (NOT the “video tab”). There should be a little “play” button next to the first AB of the 9th inning. That’s how I saw it.
If I was permitted to view streaming video at the place where I currently am, I would have watched the game live over mlb.tv
however, my place of employment does not permit the streaming of video over their network due to bandwidth concerns and thus I will have to wait to see the catch. In that time, I eagerly await the opportunity to marvel at what other LLers are currently describing.
“Buehrle pitched a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers on April 18, 2007, at U.S. Cellular Field Ëœ the first no-hitter in the stadium‚s history. In that game, he faced the minimum number of batters. He missed a perfect game by walking Sammy Sosa, but picked off the veteran straying too far off first base.”
I would hate to watch Carlos Zambrano throw a perfect game against us because he is a flaming asshole and I wish his arm would explode so he would go away.
I have never seen a No-No live. I have always wanted to do so and to see Perfection is special.
BUT that catch … Jesus. What an incredible play. Can you imagine how popular that kid will be in the clubhouse after that? He’ll be riding that catch for the next few years.
Sadly this means that Guti won’t win the best defensive play of the year, but that is a small price to pay for seeing something so incredible.
BALL HIT RIGHT TO THE FUCKING SECOND BASEMEN THAT WOULD OF ENDED THE GAME AND IT HIT THE FUCKING BAG AND NOW IT’S TIEDAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! THE PREVIOUS SCORED ON A PUSSY HIT!!
Every year two or three fucking people play out of their minds. And it’s way above their talent level. And they regress. But then two other people come along! Last year it was fucking Joe Saunders and Ervin Santana, this year it’s fucking Kendry Morales and Torii Hunter. It’s so fucking annoying PLAY YOUR FUCKING SKILL LEVEL YOU FLAMING DOUCHEBAGS
I turned on the Angels game in the top of the 9th inning. What a lovely game. Such running and such bounces and such colors. It makes me remember why baseball is America's national pastime. A grand day.
K!

abender20 - July 23, 2009
Strikes out Cabrera!
Trade value meter about to explode!
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
No one can withstand Jarrod and his mighty dolphin.
Incidentally, awesome band name.
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
"Jarrod and his Mighty Dolphin"
Yeah, I can get behind that band name.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
Sounds like a PBS saturday morning cartoon to me
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Or a porno.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
Or a PBS Saturday morning pornographic cartoon
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
They grow up so fast these days.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
Those are a dime a dozen.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
But those dimes come from our viewers, and we can't bring you terrific programming like Jarrod and his slippery Love Dolphin without your support, so please call now.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
Eh, they'll probably pull it after they realize the
voice actors were under age.
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
If we don't use tax-payer money to fund pornographic
cartoons, I don’t know what we should spend it on.
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
Baseball stadiums?
Decatur - July 23, 2009
Pornographic baseball stadiums.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
Mariners can't fight it forever.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
Apparantly baseball has cheerleaders now, so all you have to do is ax their costume budget and you've got it!
Decatur - July 23, 2009
They have them in Korea
They stand on top of the dugout and, at least on TV, look pretty good. It’s like going to a bikini bar.

Yeah...
although I was chuckling while feeling uncomfortable.
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
I thought it would BE uncomfortable.
msb - July 23, 2009
Hah!
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
Nah
the cupholders provide good stability
Matthew - July 23, 2009
You're clearly not very creative.
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
Yu Wan Mei Fish Time is the best Fish Time, perfect eating for you and me and so delicious.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
The whole China thing this week has been hilarious.
Teej - July 23, 2009
Fits right in with Sinbad Jr. and his Magic Belt.
msb - July 23, 2009
So players Jack Zduriencik added have contributed a net total of 9.4 WAR to this year's team.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
No matter what anyone says, the clicky mlb.tv commercial is definitely my favorite this year
Dewey N - July 23, 2009
He uses The Force to keep his fly balls in the yard.
appleshampoo - July 23, 2009
Best explanation I have heard yet.
Kirk - July 23, 2009
That was impressive
Now quit while you’re ahead. Tits can handle the next three better than you at 90 pitches.
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
He's at 85.
Doubt he’ll come out.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
You're right, sadly
You just have to pray for him to keep the ball in the yard. Ordonez is going to be trouble.
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Well that was easier than expected.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
2.74.
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
Does a foul tip caught count as a swinging strike?
I assume it does.
hcoguy - July 23, 2009
It does to me.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
He might go 8 innings
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Pray he doesn't try
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Wash got it figured out
Recognize!
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
He's reinvented!!!
msb - July 23, 2009
I can't wait until Jarrod's profile on Gameday Premium says Out pitch: Dolphin
pmc47 - July 23, 2009
Close to perfection is probably overstating.
Kirsten Schlewitz - July 23, 2009
I heard that too and chuckled
Sec 108 - July 23, 2009
That was not even close to fouled stupid Tigers announcer
Dewey N - July 23, 2009
How many pitches did Washburn throw in his 1-hitter?
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
110ish
Decatur - July 23, 2009
Thanks.
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
110
Matthew - July 23, 2009
O's are a much more Washburn-friendly lineup than Detroit
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but Ronny Cedeno is an especially poor hitter
Poochie - July 23, 2009
God damnit it

Robert - July 23, 2009
There's a REAL crafty veteran lefty throwing will in Chicago right now.
hcoguy - July 23, 2009
If Buehrle throws another no-hitter, that would be spectacular.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
He's the one White Sox I don't hate
Well, I’m actually indifferent to a large majority of them, but of the ones I have feelings about, Buehrle is the one I don’t hate.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
I have an irrational hatred for Scotty Podsednik.
hcoguy - July 23, 2009
What about Jim Thome?
Seems to be an affable fellow. And his story of driving the 500th HR ball to Cooperstown with his dad was awesome.
Robert Lintott - July 23, 2009
Ah
very nice

God that story makes me smile every time.

The grinch!
Goose - July 23, 2009
This promotion is retarded
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Santa suit or not, there's no way I'm trusting a tiger to give me a present
Robert - July 23, 2009
It would be less retarded if Brandon Inge was dressed as an elf.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
Yeah, fuck that salvation army.
Who do they think they are?
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
A bunch of retards
Poochie - July 23, 2009
He got Magglio out!
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
Halladay confirms that regardless, his days as a Blue Jay are numbered.
So says Rotoworld.
Goose - July 23, 2009
Why would he admit this?
Decatur - July 23, 2009
Because playing for a team with no chance to contend probably sucks.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
Plus pitching in the AL East is a bitch.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
I think he meant why would Ricciardi leak this.
One answer might be to soften up the PR landscape
Matthew - July 23, 2009
That too.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
Trade incentive.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
I think he is talking about Ricciardi admitting this.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
Oh, right.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
Because the Blue Jays have very publicly been trying to trade him, and working for JP Riccardi must be obnoxious
Poochie - July 23, 2009
I meant Ricciardi, by the way. It just seems like he undercut his own leverage needlessly.
But maybe it was an open secret anyway.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
This is not news
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
Having it released publicly sure as hell is.
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
What a smooth outing.
ThundaPC - July 23, 2009
PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION
please tel me someone’s warming up

Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Washburn for holding down the 3 spot
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
Sparkly ERA!
Lower than Halladay’s! Forget that chump.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
His trade value is now officially higher than Roy Halladay's
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
I can't wait to rape someone's farm system!
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
The W-L record brings Washburn back down.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
But wins and losses are not indicative of a pitcher's ability
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
This is why you will never have a Cy Young vote!
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
But mariners offense!
run support! Where’s attractive nuisance?
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Hero mode!
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
FREAK MODE
abender20 - July 23, 2009
Whoops
abender20 - July 23, 2009
That wasn't very heroic at all
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
A true hero knows when to fall on his own sword.
This game isn’t fair and Lopez doesn’t want to rub it in.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
HEY PHILLIES!
PHILLIES!
HEY
HEY
LOOK
ONLY TWO HITS!
Matthew - July 23, 2009
NO RUNS
abender20 - July 23, 2009
You really want Z to be run out of town don't you?
Poochie - July 23, 2009
I hope you're jumping up and down and waving your arms in the air as you write this
Kirsten Schlewitz - July 23, 2009
That takes some skill
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Matthew can do it.
I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
Kirk - July 23, 2009
Against the 1000 run offense!

Kirsten Schlewitz - July 23, 2009
His mild-mannered persona just makes him more beguiling.

Very friendly too.

Never mind

Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
I love his shirt.
It reminds me of up. I’m glad RRS is coming back. :)
Kirk - July 23, 2009
I've probably missed something
but ‘it reminds me of up’ is fantastic.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
We love you too Ryan
Nick S - July 23, 2009
16 in a row for Buehrle.
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
18
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Against the Rays
Damn impressive.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
I guess that answers my question if they are a good hitting team.
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
Anyone else have the Burger King ad on Gameday?
It lets you draw with a marker on some drunk douchebag’s face.
hcoguy - July 23, 2009
Who's that old guy in the santa hat next to Washburn?
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
Don't throw out your back, Sweeney.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
Or go ahead and do
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Magic?
COME ON!
Garces - July 23, 2009
Yeah, but where'd the lighter fluid come from?
BHP - July 23, 2009
Does anyone else think Wash looks like Jack Bauer?
You will pop this meaty pitch-up!
Rich Langford - July 23, 2009
Yes, he definitely has some Kieferishness going on.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
I always thought he looked like Jason Sudeikis, from SNL.
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
Not our most potent offensive display.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
Swinging like morons?
It’s all the latter half of our lineup’s got.
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
Not Hans or Hann
Matthew - July 23, 2009
True.
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
Hey Simms just mentioned something...
about Gutz running into a wall- I hadn’t heard about this.
Rich Langford - July 23, 2009
It's metaphorical. Don't worry about it.
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
Phew!
Rich Langford - July 23, 2009
Haha. Those 3.

Beltre and Felix throwing sunflower seeds at eachother
With Gutierrez just sitting between them and not flinching

So, AB is feeling more relaxed about this game, huh?
msb - July 23, 2009
M's hitters. 8 K's, 0 BB's
9 K’s.
hcoguy - July 23, 2009
Hmmm
Rotoworld
Goose - July 23, 2009
Tampa needs someone
Poochie - July 23, 2009
We give them pitching they give us Brignac!
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
I'm more interested in Longoria
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Shit I forgot about him.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
We do need a 3B for next year
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
That's patently retarded.
What would we do with Beltre when he returns from injury? God you’re dense.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
Beltre would be part of the deal
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Ohhhhhh
abender20 - July 23, 2009
The Rays will need a 3B, they're in a pennant race
Poochie - July 23, 2009
I need to be more granular in my inspection of details.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
But to make it realistic, we send them Lopez
then Longoria plays second
Poochie - July 23, 2009
We could probably get Longoria to play first and move Branyan to third.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
That would be dumb
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Speaking of the Indians, also from Rotoworld
Goose - July 23, 2009
zzzzzzzzZZZzzzZZzz
abender20 - July 23, 2009
Would have helped us
Poochie - July 23, 2009
It seems I was right about trading Scott Kazmir
Poochie - July 23, 2009
RJ said he was looking pretty good since he came back - before today at least (sitting 91, topping at 93)
Decatur - July 23, 2009

Thanks Gameday.

Actually, looking on Gameday you may be right.
During Inge’s PA anyway.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
That is the AB I was talking about.
A couple close ones, but pitch 4 looked right down the pipe.

Slurvey - July 23, 2009

Goose - July 23, 2009
Please do not waste the bottom of the order, Mark.
Get us to the 9th with a 2-0 lead.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
I think Rob Johnson's gamecalling would improve if he asked them to throw strikes
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009

Positive.
MFAN - July 23, 2009
Granderson is always terrifying.
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
Not if we had a lefty!

Poochie - July 23, 2009
He routinely kills us.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
Not if we had a lefty!
Poochie - July 23, 2009
We need to whisper "Nick Hall...Nick Hill" softly into GMZ's ear.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
"Garret Olson..."
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Well I guess he is a fun guy when he's not killing the M's.
MFAN - July 23, 2009
Hey at least he helped us win home field advantage for the World Series.

Nate Dogg - July 23, 2009

Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Through 7 in Tampa if anyone cares.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
I'm interested but I care much more about this game
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
If only we had traded for Lugo
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Stop being awesome Granderson.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
Shouldve left Washburn in
ARock - July 23, 2009
He's a queef for not going 9
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Aardsma coming in?
sammy - July 23, 2009
Lowe's got balls.
He prefers one run games.
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
We've only won 22? Weak.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009

Only if you're in the ballpark
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
I kinda think I rather have Lowe in than White.
Slurvey - July 23, 2009
That double play still pisses me off.
Goose - July 23, 2009
Mercedes E Class Attention Assist? Seriously?
I’m surprised somebody hasn’t sponsored the score yet.

Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Woodward lets that go for a double.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
This shit just got real.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
I blame Rob Johnson for not calling a change-up during the Granderson AB
Slurvey - July 23, 2009
Sims called him out long before the ump did.
I was afraid he was having a Neihaus day and was come back with a wait, no safe, and a run scores.
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
First person to make a Monty Python joke gets flagged
Matthew - July 23, 2009

He's missing a letter on his jersey
Poochie - July 23, 2009

God you are racist and illiterate.

Wahaha!
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
Ggerni does not seem to be a racist term
Dewey N - July 23, 2009
You've just got it scrambled.
He was saying Ginger. He hates redheads.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
Go on...
Decatur - July 23, 2009
I meant NAG
jeez
Poochie - July 23, 2009
You're a mod, and you're threatening people with just a flag?
You can do better than that.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
I'd love Russ to monty MY python.
Robert Lintott - July 23, 2009
Sims said "Ni."
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
His name needs to be De-Ti-Ni. I don't care if it doesn't make since.
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
Unintentional awesomeness?
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Yep!
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
Let's go M's
Poochie - July 23, 2009
IT'S NOT A RALLY IF YOU'RE ALREADY AHEAD.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
wrong
Poochie - July 23, 2009
If that's true then why would they hand out fries in that situation?
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
Fucking rally fries are worse than the rally monkey now.
At least they don’t bust out the monkey at EVERY GAME.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
Yeah...no...that's not possible.
The rally monkey is impossibly stupid.
Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009

Nice job!
Dewey N - July 23, 2009

I will now ask if I can kiss you because that seems the cool thing to do around these parts
Poochie - July 23, 2009

Kirsten Schlewitz - July 23, 2009
You're just bitter because you haven't been invited to one of our makeout parties yet.

Aw come on just this once please?
Dewey N - July 23, 2009
No.
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Did Rob Johnson really have the 3-0 green light?
MFAN - July 23, 2009
Who the fuck greenlighted Rob Johnson
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
YOU FUCKING PIECE OF PUTTY SHIT
IT WAS A 3-0 COUNT AND YOU SWUNG AND POPPED IT UP YOU FUCKING FUCK HOW COULD YOU FUCKING SUCK SO BAD. JESUS PLATYPUS HUMPING CHRIST YOU STUPID FOB YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVEN HOW MUCH YOU ARE A TALENTLESS CLOWN EXCREMENT

"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF PUTTY SHIT"
Just wait until a stray pitch hits him in the chest and he disintegrates
pmc47 - July 23, 2009
Nice reference.
Goose - July 23, 2009
Definitely a design flaw on par with the exhaust port on the Death Star.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
Reminds me of my favorite Hendu quote:
“they cut through that lineup like…like a knife…through…uh, silly putty.” Still trying to wrap my head around that one.

Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
Well this is going to be a tense ninth.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
Every out will feel like an inning.
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
That WAS like an inning...
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
Tell that to Buehrle.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
It makes me sad that Hawk Harrelson might be very happy soon.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
Which is why I have the Rays feed going.
Goose - July 23, 2009
Nah, Buerhle's one of the more underated pitchers in the AL. I'd be happy for him regardless.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
The Sox homers are adorably horrible
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
Pitchers pitching perfect games get generous strike zones.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
I was about to say the same thing.
I just jumped over to that game and saw a strike called in the opposing batter’s box.
schismatix - July 23, 2009
Rob Johnson should have been given his catchers mitt once the count went to 3-0. What the hell.
kentroyals5 - July 23, 2009
Ugh this live look in is painful, Hawk Harrelson makes me want to vomit
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Come on Detroit send this into extras!
Dewey N - July 23, 2009

Poochie - July 23, 2009
Aardsma looks like Ed Helms' less attractive brother

I've always thought he looks like a guy who should live in a trailer park
Nick S - July 23, 2009
I love how tickled Sims is with himself for coming up with such a sweet nickname.
SethGrandpa - July 23, 2009

Poochie - July 23, 2009

Goose - July 23, 2009
Why does everybody swing at Aardsma's fastball when it's outside of the zone?
Slurvey - July 23, 2009
Low self-esteem
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
That foul worried me.
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
Yeah, that almost ended the perfect game.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
This is like interval training

I loved the drop to baritone for the fouuuuuul

Something along the lines of 'that ball is right down the line .......... and fouuuullllllll............'
msb - July 23, 2009
2 away!
Poochie - July 23, 2009
I really hate watching catchers field infield pop ups
Matthew - July 23, 2009
It was okay when Moyer was screaming at them.
JY - July 23, 2009
That man has a carrying voice.
msb - July 23, 2009
For example?
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Clement bait but really it is any of them.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
This Clement?
Poochie - July 23, 2009
That was really frightening let's get this out without scaring the shit out of me
Nick S - July 23, 2009
Shut up Sox fans, that was clearly inside.
Goose - July 23, 2009
Zobrist pops out.
Goose - July 23, 2009
This is a GT for the M's game
abender20 - July 23, 2009
Not anymore.
And the game is potentially historic.
Goose - July 23, 2009
It was when you were posting.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
We can't talk about potential perfect games/no hitters in a game thread?
Goose - July 23, 2009
You certainly can.
I am just clarifying that it seemed like you were annoying some with constant play-by-play updates about it.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
Was just trying to be helpful.
But I’ll quit.
Goose - July 23, 2009
I know.
I am just pointing out that the Ms game was still going on, so your comment that it was no longer a Ms GT was incorrect.

Liebkartoffel - July 23, 2009
At least the White Sox got rid of Juan Uribe long ago.

Why do we always lose the first game of the series but come back to win the series?
It’s happened like 10 of the last 13 series.
Fuckmikereilly - July 23, 2009
Would you rather we just lost the series?
Seriously, stop complaining.
CMC_Stags - July 23, 2009
This would be an excellent way to end Jarrod Washburn's career as a Mariner.
Nate Dogg - July 23, 2009

Poochie - July 23, 2009
I don't think so.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
I wouldn't risk it for a minimal return
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Never make (or not) a move for PR reasons alone.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
I don't think it would necessarily, no.
There are elements of the fanbase that are against it, but not as many as one would imagine and a lot of folks on the M’s beat seem to be at least okay with it.

Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
I want this for Buehrle
When he said that he A.) Might retire in two years because its not all about money and B.) he would NEVER play for the Sox or Yankees unless he got traded there, i gained an immense amount of respect for him.

Holy Shit! what a way to save a perfect game.
Rich Langford - July 23, 2009

Poochie - July 23, 2009

Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
Well this is a pretty cool afternoon of baseball.
Rich Langford - July 23, 2009
Awesome awesome awesome!
Goose - July 23, 2009
And the announcer orgasms
Nick S - July 23, 2009
Awesome, awesome day
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
Very cool.
Nate Dogg - July 23, 2009
Sweet.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
That catch by Wise was absolutely fucking incredible
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
I screamed in the office after the Wise catch.
A lot of people are looking my way now.
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
Spam email them gifs.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
HA just tell them you were looking at porn.
More people would understand.
Rich Langford - July 23, 2009
Awesome.
Wise’s catch was soooooooooooooo gawd damn amazing.
SethGrandpa - July 23, 2009
The Sox announcer sounded like he was ejaculating violently.
I Lick Squirrels - July 23, 2009
He usually does
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
Wow, that was awesome
pmc47 - July 23, 2009
That was beautiful.
ThundaPC - July 23, 2009
I cannot believe that catch. That was incredible!
Goose - July 23, 2009
FUCK YOU NICK MARKAKIS
Matthew - July 23, 2009
I really want to see this catch now
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Yeah, how soon do you think it'll be online?
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
mlb is currently showing free it as they run the postgame from Chicago
msb - July 23, 2009
you'll see it...
SebastianPruiti - July 23, 2009
It was heart pounding awesome.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
It was Omar Vizquel-esque kind of play to save a no-hitter/perfect game.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
If you go to Gameday for the game, it's linked in the ninth inning.
Go to Kapler’s AB to see. It’s incredible.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
No streaming video
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
I'm looking at it right now, dude.
If you’re signed into MLB.tv, go to the Gameday for the sox game. (NOT the “video tab”). There should be a little “play” button next to the first AB of the 9th inning. That’s how I saw it.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
If I was permitted to view streaming video at the place where I currently am, I would have watched the game live over mlb.tv
however, my place of employment does not permit the streaming of video over their network due to bandwidth concerns and thus I will have to wait to see the catch. In that time, I eagerly await the opportunity to marvel at what other LLers are currently describing.
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Ah, got it. My bad.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
Wise wasn't even in the game earlier. Guillen put him in as a defensive replacement
GoCougs - July 23, 2009
right before the 9th
SebastianPruiti - July 23, 2009
Although I wouldn't really call it genius on Guillens part.
If he’s your best defense in center, then it doesn’t matter to think about the bottom of the ninth. Just go for it all now.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
Lexus Player of the Game, indeed!
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
Mark Buerhle has a no-hitter AND perfect game under his belt.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
So does anyone that throws a perfect game.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
Indeed.
SethGrandpa - July 23, 2009
He pitched a no-hitter a couple years ago.
Now he has a perfect game.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
I know, I was just being an arse.
Congrats to him but I really don’t like the White Sox.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
If he doesn't decide to retire in a couple years he'll definitely have a shot at the HOF.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
I'd forgotten the fine points
“Buehrle pitched a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers on April 18, 2007, at U.S. Cellular Field Ëœ the first no-hitter in the stadium‚s history. In that game, he faced the minimum number of batters. He missed a perfect game by walking Sammy Sosa, but picked off the veteran straying too far off first base.”
msb - July 23, 2009
Stop showing the replay of the ground ball, show the catch
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
The Rays broadcast of this is excellent. They are excited like he's one of their own.
Goose - July 23, 2009
If you're gonna lose, you might as well witness history, right?
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
I doubt this will be my take when it happens to the M's
Nate Dogg - July 23, 2009
I would be entirely willing to attend a loss to see a perfect game
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Depends on who did it.
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
I really wouldn't care who did it
it’s an incredible and remarkably unlikely achievement no matter who throws it
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Not if it's the fucking Angels.
I Lick Squirrels - July 23, 2009
If Torii Hunter had made that kind of catch...
Decatur - July 23, 2009
Unless it knocked us out of the playoffs or something
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Provided that the loss has no meaningful impact on the end result of the season
I would much rather witness history than win a single game
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Agreed
Poochie - July 23, 2009
If I hate a player I do no want them to do well.
I would hate to watch Carlos Zambrano throw a perfect game against us because he is a flaming asshole and I wish his arm would explode so he would go away.
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
Watching Clemens' 20 strikeouts was like that
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
That catch gets better every time I see it
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
From ESPN
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
If it weren't for Juan Uribe it would be the 18th >:(
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
Yeah, I wonder if that Uribe play didn't happen if this would be the closest two perfect games ever were to eachother.
Seems like it would by far, yeah?
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
You seem to be forgetting Jarrod Washburn's close call.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
Yeah, I suppose you're right about that one.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
I think it's a joke
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
But technically it's true. No matter what you think about Jarrod Washburn as a pitcher, he was close.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
Washburn's was reasonably close though.
That ball could have been caught I think and I had a pretty good perspective because I could basically touch Langerhans.
Kirk - July 23, 2009
Yeah, I was semi-joking.
I think if it was later in the game then that ball would have been caught.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
That will probably always be the best game I have ever attended.
I just wish he would have dove.
Kirk - July 23, 2009
MLB.com says 18th
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Huh
I think its the 18th, 16th in the modern era
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
Wise hit his elbow on the top of the fence before the ball hit his glove
I have no idea how he caught that, totally awesome play!
SW WA Coug - July 23, 2009
...
how far over the fence was this ball??
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Tough to say, a foot?
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
It was over by quite a bit, 2-3 feet or so
SW WA Coug - July 23, 2009
It was a homer I think
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
No question
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Definitely a home run
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
Greatest defensive play in ten years if it's Bartlett and not Kapler?
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Yes
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
Certainly the highest leveraged one
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Incredible catch because of the context
But I nominate Endy.
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
Gone, completely.
What a miraculous catch.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
6 inches - 1 foot.
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
Not only that, but he bobbled the ball and was juggling it as he fell to the ground.
And he still hung on.
Goose - July 23, 2009
I almost broke down in tears
forte40 - July 23, 2009
And that's no cheapie against one of the best offensive teams in baseball.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
I'm so glad I got to watch that live.
My god what a catch.
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
Seconded.
SethGrandpa - July 23, 2009
As am I.
Although I still have to say I don’t enjoy it when the Red Sox throw a no-hitter. Right now they’re the only team I can’t get enthused for.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
Yankees?
JMKaustin - July 23, 2009
At one time, yes. But now? Nah.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
Completely blows away Endy's catch in the NLCS as one of the best catches I have seen this decade.
Almost on par with the Ichiro spiderman catch.
Goose - July 23, 2009
I'd say it's right on par
Poochie - July 23, 2009
I've seen a few technically better catches
The timing of this one was absolutely perfect though
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
It was like Endy's in that respect: you go up a second earlier or later and it's goodbye baseball.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
I meant the timing in context of 'top of the 9th in a perfect game'
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
That too. Endy's was ultimately meaningless.
Which was sweet too in its own way.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
*and it came in something like the 6th, right?
esoteric - July 23, 2009
.
Poochie - July 23, 2009
No it wasn't
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Endy's saved the Mets' season at the time
Poochie - July 23, 2009
For all of what, two innings?
esoteric - July 23, 2009
I miss Endy.
msb - July 23, 2009
YUNI WASN'T CONTENT JUST TO TAKE HIS OWN WORTHLESS SELF DOWN IN FLAMES, WAS HE?
esoteric - July 23, 2009
Still saved it.
joof - July 23, 2009
He kept a game tied
It’s not like that would have been a walkoff home run
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
I'm not sure what we're arguing
Most spectacular catch that carried the largest leverage?
Poochie - July 23, 2009
I'm arguing that I think this was a higher leverage catch
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
If Endy doesn't keep it close I don't get my movie script ending
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Still one of my favorite .GIFs of all time.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
He kept a clinching game of the NLCS tied in the 8th.
Graham MacAree - July 23, 2009
We weren't talking about his bat
Poochie - July 23, 2009
Oh yeah for sure.
Goose - July 23, 2009
That was the first time I didn't feel like I was wasting money on MLB.tv.
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
There were free live look ins
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Thanks Captain Bringdown
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
I could only use my radio and then watch the catch on highlight reel.
Damn Chicago blackout.
esoteric - July 23, 2009
Here it is faggots
Poochie - July 23, 2009
where bitch?
SebastianPruiti - July 23, 2009
ooh you just missed it
Poochie - July 23, 2009
It was like he was looking to see if it was in there and then it pooped out and almost fell...
SebastianPruiti - July 23, 2009
It probably would've been ruled a catch - dropped on the transfer.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
If he'd dropped it after getting his throwing hand on the ball, I mean.
Decatur - July 23, 2009
No catch if he doesn't come up with it off the ground
He never controlled it until he secured it with his left hand
SW WA Coug - July 23, 2009
Wise's elbow was on the yellow line
And the ball was in the tip of his glove, he bobbled it and then grabbed it with his left hand falling to the ground.
SW WA Coug - July 23, 2009
The jump and line Wise took was incredible too.
sammy - July 23, 2009
And no we are back to the post-game, and Pittman's bafflement that ANYONE would want to move Washburn.
msb - July 23, 2009
Oh goodie
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
This caller says re-sign him
Genius!
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
I will re-sign him for one year and four million
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Exactly what I would give him.
Sec 108 - July 23, 2009
If only I had something to drink when the word 'reinvent' come up.
or they reference Washburn’s ass.
msb - July 23, 2009
"You have to think, what do the players want? Washburn wants to win for the team, where Bedard wants to get paid"
msb - July 23, 2009
Who said that?
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
A caller, from Rochester
there is a Rochester in Washington?
msb - July 23, 2009
wtf?
I didn’t realize Jarrod Washburn was donating all of his salary to Make-A-Wish.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
yes, down near Centralia
Highway 12, if you’re not being sarcastic.
hairofthedawg - July 23, 2009
Nope-- just hadn't heard of it, up to now.
msb - July 23, 2009
Why does everyone think that trading Washburn means GMZ is throwing in the towel
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
That 2.71 ERA?
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
People are dumb
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Exactly
but it’s not as if we didn’t already know that
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
The levels of stupidity still just baffle me
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Let's get Halladay!
msb - July 23, 2009
I wonder, has the perception of Jarrod Washburn changed amongst fans around baseball because of his ERA?
Or do most people still consider him to be the same old Jarrod Washburn having a good season?
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
I have encountered many fans who believe he is an ace now, and even some who say he's having a better year than Felix
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
If he's an ace we better get Adam Jones, Chris Tillman, George Sherrill, Kam Mickolio and someone with a not-blown-out shoulder for him
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
That's unbelievable.
I wish they were running the Brewers and we could just get Hardy straight up.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
i wish that an autistic child ran the cardinals then i would trade them mark lowe and some candy for albert pujols and colby rasmus
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Aren't autistic children actually really intelligent?
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Only the very highest level ones.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
Baseball fans are stupid and Washburn has a 2.71 ERA
you do the math
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Someone referenced the earlier call about getting Halladay and said that as much as he'd like three Cy Young candidates on the team ...
msb - July 23, 2009
The terrifying thing is that Washburn actually is a Cy Young candidate at the rate he's going
more forward (not necessarily smart, but hey, it’s a step in the right direction) voters will ignore the wins and vote for him, I think.
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
If he won it, the only thing that would piss me off would be taking it away from Felix
I honestly wouldn’t give a fuck that he doesn’t deserve it
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
It would be hilarious, I would both laugh at the award and be happy a Mariner won it at the same time
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
It would just reaffirm my thoughts that all of the MLB awards voters are idiots
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Not according to ESPN
The World Wide Leader
msb - July 23, 2009
WOW Felix in the lead and David Aardsma at #9???
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
Has anyone ever mentioned tRA on any national media outlet or even a local one?
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
They can't afford the royalties
Kermit. - July 23, 2009
New stats don't become mainstream overnight
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Pft.
Because trading a player automatically means you are giving up.
right?
msb - July 23, 2009
OK so that catch was pretty impressive.
Eyeball Kid - July 23, 2009
Buehrle bought everyone Watches on his no-hitter.
Man, this is gonna be pricey.
ThundaPC - July 23, 2009
He should buy Wise Rolex.
Not a Rolex. Rolex.
Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2009
He should buy Wise a car
Poochie - July 23, 2009
He should by Wise car.
Not a car. Car.

Let's Go Twins!!!!!
CSD - July 23, 2009
What an awesome hour of baseball!
I have never seen a No-No live. I have always wanted to do so and to see Perfection is special.
BUT that catch … Jesus. What an incredible play. Can you imagine how popular that kid will be in the clubhouse after that? He’ll be riding that catch for the next few years.
Sadly this means that Guti won’t win the best defensive play of the year, but that is a small price to pay for seeing something so incredible.
Baseball is awesome!
EnglishMariner - July 23, 2009
When Guti makes his post-season catch ...
msb - July 23, 2009
...to save back-to-back Perfect Games by Felix.
EnglishMariner - July 23, 2009
Like Felix would give up a deep fly ball.
Manzanillos Cup - July 23, 2009
We're 7 Games over .500.

And yet we still might be five games back.
Damn the Angels and their insane .381 July wOBA.
Manzanillos Cup - July 23, 2009
Does this kill Torii Hunters MVP chances?
I mean in reality, he seemed to be the best player on the team. But DAMMIT, nothing has changed.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
If Torii Hunter wins MVP I will cry
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
I'd say if he misses a month, he probably won't stand a chance.
But the numbers were starting to add up to one of those seasons that voters love.
Kenny Knows Sports - July 23, 2009
Just wait for him to come back and hit 25 HR the rest of the way
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
It is a little touching, the way the post-game callers are sure the Mariners will be in the post-season.
msb - July 23, 2009
Hypothetical situations are kind of fun, but some of these guys are playing chess to my checkers
Holy crap talk about threading a needle. Better to just ride the optimism than over think the situation I suppose.

A distinct dis-advantage for the Angels, NOT! They will win it before it gets to the DH spot.
brian_sun - July 23, 2009
Figgins is on as the winning run. I predict he will steal 2nd, make to 3rd on a wild pitch, and score on a swinging bunt.

NEVER! NEVER FUCKING AGAIN!

I turned on the Angels game in the top of the 9th inning. What a lovely game. Such running and such bounces and such colors. It makes me remember why baseball is America's national pastime. A grand day.
