Power outage at Wrigley, and I'm not talking about Carlos Lee.

Yeah, that was weird.

I'm just glad things are getting corrected: the Dodgers are in contention for the NL West lead and the Nats are in the cellar (granted, a position they currently share with the Mets and the Marlins)

It was mentioned earlier in the broadcast that last night was only the 458th night game at Wrigley. It didn't have lights until 1988, and even then they have an agreement with the neighborhood to limit the number of night games. Guess they're still working some of the kinks out of the system.

I mean, congrats.

You still laughing? Well not for long. Looks like this "draftee" is the real deal.

His Baseball card is going for over $10,000

And his record in Triple-A ain't to shabby.

In his first three Triple-A starts, Stephen Strasburg did not allow a run—earned or otherwise—while blowing away the more seasoned hitters in the highest minor league.

Wow, never been two perfect games in the same season, let alone the same month.

ETA: Sports Center just corrected me, there has been a season with 2 perfect games...1880.

From Keith Olbermann's baseball blog:

Quote:

There have been 20 official Perfect Games (sorry, Harvey Haddix; sorry, Pedro Martinez) in baseball history, and thanks to Dallas Braden and now Roy Halladay, there have been two of them in just twenty days.

Of course it's more preposterous than that. Because Mark Buehrle threw his perfecto for the White Sox just last July 23rd, there have now been three perfect games (15 percent of all of them, ever) in the last 130 days of Major League Baseball play.

Wait - it gets worse. The first perfect game, by Lee Richmond of Worcester of the National League, was thrown on June 12, 1880. The second, by Johnny Ward of Providence (also still in the NL that season), took place just five days later. So now we're talking about a quarter of all of them, ever, being concentrated in a net span of 135 days of play.

Then there's today's non-walkoff walkoff grand slam.

Ghoulish Delight · 05-30-2010, 08:06 AM

Yeah, I wonder if we've seen the last of those stupid home-plate celebrations due to that. I hope so.

Anyone see the line drive hit by A Rod go off the that pitcher's head? Ouch. That thing bounced a LONG way.

I know one guy who didn't see it, or he would have ducked faster.
