Fairly classless on Graffinino's part.

You can make the point without acting like a sore loser.

"Did you see all those birds out there? Course, I had a better chance of hitting one of those than I did hitting Verlander tonight."

Tony Graffanino explains what happened:

It's not every day you see a flock of seagulls invade a big-league stadium. The birds crossed between the pitcher and hitter several times in the early going, including once on a pitch on which Graffanino struck out in the first inning.

"I don't know how it couldn't be a distraction," said Graffanino, who struck out in all four of his at-bats. "They were flying all over the place. There's nothing you can do about it. You have to stay focused. But I'd rather face him without birds flying around."

Didn't seem to bother the Indians and Mariners on Monday.

Memo to SportsCenter production assistants: Lead with THIS tonight, not Game 3.

I'm sorry. We're kinda heavily invested in the NBA Finals.

LOL! At least they put Verlander's no-no at the top of the 2am SportsCenter before racing to the NBA Finals coverage. I'm still going to e-mail their viewer rep, but if it's their way of placating baseball fans...

read a lot about Jack Morris's no-hitter being the last one for the Tigers, but the better pitching performance was almost a year to the week earlier by Milt Wilcox, who went two-deep into the ninth in a perfect game against the White Sox... fuckin Jerry Hairston broke it up...
I know.. had nothing to do with the no-hitter but was a more memorable performance...

Tony Graffanino's more than fortunate to be in the big leagues.

He should have ran, ran so far away.
