Perfect Game Alert!

[Matt1735]

Hiroki Kuroda of the Dodgers, through 6 against the Braves.... Dodgers scored 3 in the bottom of the fifth to get a lead finally.

Wasn't 18 Nomo's number, too? That's weird.
For those in Braves country, it's on SportSouth.

He wore 16.

Blake DeWitt and James Loney just made a great bunt pickup/stretch at first to keep it going.

I be lovin' MLB.TV.

 

[Batman]

Oh well. He's Japanese. That's coincidence enough.
And one HELL of a play by Blake Dewitt to keep it going.

And somewhere, Schilling contemplates the assassination of Gregor Blanco.

This coming off of the Braves waiting until the 17th to win it yesterday.

This offense is delightful.

 

[shotglass]

Got Chipper to close the seventh. Six outs to go.

 

[Batman]

Every gem has one great defensive play to keep it going. Think that was it?
And the crowd is starting to feel it. Nice round of cheers on that last grounder.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

To get the perfect game he won't have to face Chipper again.

 

[king cranium maximus IV]

Chipper's out. Might not come up again.

Last time the Braves were no-hit wasn't long ago- Randy Johnson's perfect game in '04. They did that the night after getting struck out 18 times by Ben Sheets.

And I know I've no right to say it, which means I'll say it: That was pretty ****ing feeble, Chip.

I was thinking that might have something to do with this. You play a 17-inning game that basically lasts 7 hours because of the rain delays, then hop a cross-country flight and face a hot pitcher the next night. That's not a recipe for a great game.

 

[Dickens Cider]

Will someone be a turd in the punch bowl and try to bunt?

 

[buckweaver]

Blanco already tried.

 

[shotglass]

Teixeira-McCann-Johnson ahead in the 8th. Three lefties.

 

[Dickens Cider]

****, I may have to fire up the old MLB.tv. Or is it on ESPN now?

 

[shotglass]

They usually don't cut in till the 9th.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

The Braves announcers just mentioned that Francoeur's plane landed at 7:55 PST. Can you get from LAX to Chavez Ravine in under an hour at this time of day? You know, FWIW.

Especially without amphetemines.
