Re: No Hitter Alert Running Thread *Hughes"

Wow. Not a fan, but you can't root against the perfect game.

Got chills as the final out was made.

 

Re: No Hitter Alert Running Thread *Hughes"

maybe him and A-Fraud will both make the AL All-star team

Great Mother's Day moment with his grandmother.

He'll give the same answer he gave Friday.
"I'm not extending this guy's 15 mnutes"


Great performance. Wonder if he's still gonna throw at A-Rod when the Yanks are in Oakland next month.

This is part of why baeball's the best game.

On any given day, there's a chance to see something special.

 

Re: No Hitter Alert Running Thread *Hughes"

I'm glad he wasn't.

And, apparently, so are those who believe in baseball's "unwritten rules."

He might have overreacted, but he wasn't wrong when he yelled at A-Rod.

Congratulations to Dallas Braden.

 

Re: No Hitter Alert Running Thread *Hughes"

I know guys who have covered baseball for more than 30 years and never heard of the crossing the mound "unwritten rule" bullshit.

And Braden not only overreacted, he made a ppint to keep the idiocy going by saying -- two weeks after the fact -- that something might have to happen when they play the Yankees again

 

Re: No Hitter Alert Running Thread *Hughes"

Perhaps because they hadn't seen any player actually do it?

Braden shouldn't have reacted the way he did, and he certainly shouldn't have said any more after the fact. But let's not act like A-Rod was Mr. Class by doing that.
