You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

What a scary looking rotation for next year
Explosive doesn’t begin to describe what we saw today.
Now if we could only fix our offense and defense.
I am at the game, and I can't believe what I just saw.

Felix Hernandez Hit a Grand Slam off of Johan Santana.
Morrow would of had to have completed the No-No to top that.
But it’d better be #2.

Honestly I can't bring myself to be that mad at the Yankees right now.
I don’t know why.
There's nothing to be mad about
They got a hit. In 7.2 innings.

I was at the game..
when Ben broke Wang’s perfect game. Karma? =(
And Morrow had no business still being in the game when they got that hit
That was pretty much asking the impossible for him to still be effective at that pitch count.

We drafted this, yet we spent $115.5 Million in contracts on stuff that’s worst that this….

makes you wonder
Had Morrow replaced Sliva or Tits at the start of the year, how many more wins we could of had?
True
but maybe enough to make things more interesting, we could have been fighting for .500 instead of fighting for Strasburg
Probably a demoralized kid pitcher with a bad elbow.

Ah, it's the performance not the win.
When I’m on to one team like holy on the pope, I know who’s worth his shit and who needs to take a break. The bullpen could blow this, and I’ll always know what Morrow did because I was on the edge of my seat for nearly every pitch.

I can't imagine what must be going through Morrow's head right now
In your first start in the majors to do something like that, at home, against the hated Yankees, striking out A-Rod no less. Must be an incredible feeling, and he totally deserves it.
thank you Brandon Morrow
1st time since probably last august that the Mariners had me on the edge of my seat, just awesome.
People are going to blame Ichiro and Sims for the lost no hitter
but fuck ’em. What a game!
We'd all like to think it'll be Johan or John Maine
It’ll probably be someone totally unexpected like Ryan Feierabend after we release him.
It will be Niese so it to hypes him even more.
He looks exactly like Oliver Perez on the mound, but without the fastball.
Hey, did you know that Niese was born on the say day the Mets won the 86 World Series?
I do because I was at the bar one night and ESPN told me 12 times.
No. Its difficult with Comcast.
Since the listings are Mojo listings that get overridden.
No reason to be upset as far as I'm concerned.
Because good God that made the future a little brighter after the Armstrong shitstorm today.
I always feel better when I can include my dad in some history.
I never bonded so much with my dad August-October in ’95.
I can probably say since May of that year, as we were sitting down the right field line and watched Griffey go into the wall.
Naw it's 100 pitches when he hasn't thrown more than 82 this year
Niehaus said it on the radio: getting through the 8th might have created a dilemma, because Riggleman would have had to seriously considered pulling him for the 9th.
There comes a point where rational thought isn't rational.
I’d risk injury to Morrow 100 times out a 100 if it meant the no hitter.

~Juan Pierre
Yeah. FWIW I don't think he was ever at risk of getting hurt
When you’re tired, you struggle just to make pitches, let alone locate them… and someone was probably going to get a hit eventually.
Yeah. When a pitcher has a no-no or a perfect game going, I'm only taking him out in 3 circumstances.
1. The pitcher gets injured and is physically unable to continue.
2. The pitcher gives up a base hit.
3. The pitcher himself asks me to pull him.
Otherwise, he is finishing the game, I don’t care if he has to throw 170 pitches to do it.

What's funny
Given his current stamina threshold, this was actually a bad time to throw one, in terms of his being able to finish it. If he threw one 3-4 starts from now, he probably doesn’t run out of gas in the 8th, maybe not even the 9th.
That’s splitting hairs for fun, though. I’m certainly not complaining about tonight’s game. No way.
I wasn't worried about injury so much
It just became clear that he’d run out of gas in the 8th before he gave up the hit. His velocity on his fastball was down about 3 mph and he was starting to hang his breaking stuff. That’s why the hit didn’t really upset me, because it was sorta inevitable when he was completely out of juice, and it’s totally fine that he was after throwing way more pitches than he’s ever thrown.
You really start sensing it after he goes through the lineup the first time.
When a pitcher has his stuff working that good early on, you know something special is going to happen.
Good on you to watch the replay. It’s like me watching April 11, 2007 six or seven times already.
I don't expect this kind of performance his next start
but damn today was encouraging.
He'll probably still have some struggles to finish out the year
But this was a hell of an introduction.
Lost no-hitter aside
I don’t think this could have gone any better.
