I think at this point we pretty much have to conclude that Jarrod Washburn is magic.

Now quit while you’re ahead. Tits can handle the next three better than you at 90 pitches.

You're right, sadly

You just have to pray for him to keep the ball in the yard. Ordonez is going to be trouble.

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.

So says Rotoworld.

Hmmm
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.

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.

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.

I'd forgotten the fine points

“Buehrle pitched a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers on April 18, 2007, at U.S. Cellular Field ˜ 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 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?

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.
