Al, to the joy of scribes everywhere, CC dropped the periods (or ate them as the case may be). why don't you take advantage? or are you making a stand that the periods should not be dropped?

even with cervelli in there and arod out, what's the spread in this game, a touchdown? td and a field goal?

[1] I just removed the periods of a mythical character I created for a story. I feel liberated. CC is awfully compliant.

Oooh, Chavez is back!

Fucking hell, the poor bastard had a kidney stone?

Goddamn.

Oh, good, Jorgie knows how many outs there are!

Damn, Ichiro is at .268.

Wow.
Fat kid is dominating this evening.

Fuck, I knew I should have gone to the game. (I happen to be staying with my dad, who lives on w. 156, walking distance...I should have gotten up off my ass and bought a ticket for CC day.)

Man, this motherfucker is dealing the baseball.

Gone!

Nice hitting, Curtis!

Weeping, I know home runs are aesthetically unappealing, but Curtis going to the opposite field mitigates the ugly, doesn't it?

319 foot blast!

Lance Berkman has 27 homeruns?

Oh, too bad. Rob cracked that one.

[12] :)

It does. It mitigates the ugly.

[14] Fat Elvis has been crushing the ball this year ...

noNoNO.

NO RAIN.

NO DELAY.

Jesus, he is just mesmerizing them.

Jesus!

WOw.

Wow.

I mean, they're basically high school players. Looks like. It's ridiculous.

This is incredible.

Look how small baseball players used to be!

!!!!

Why am I not at this game?

[23] What he said ...

[18] I was thinking, "Well, if he mows them down this inning it's official anyway."

But I now see your point.

Two gorgeous line drives in a row!

THREE!

My boy Chavez!!!!!

CHAVEY!!!

[30] I so, SO hope he can stay healthy for the rest of the year.

This is Weeping heaven.

Speaking of staying healthy: would you give up a prospect to get Eric Bedard, who is supposed to come off the DL shortly?

Should we play "What is Frankie Good At?", or is that just depressing?

Hard to get a read on him in 1 start, but he's been very good when he's been healthy this year.

Kind of depends on what Seattle wants for him.

Maybe they'd take Nune5 (and stuff) ...

Fugh, here comes the rain.

Fuck, it really is raining. Fuck fuck fuck fuck...

Omg...

Seven.

Woof. Pouring. FUCK

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhhh.
Oh, man. That really, really sucks.

wow. hold off rain!

Un-

believable.

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK.

sigh. anyone take a look at the radar?

Shoulda sprung for the retractable roof.

Game is official though right? CC gets the W and credit for the..shutout??

[47] They'll finish the game, not sure whether CC will get a chance to come back out ...

http://www.weather.com/weather/map/interactive/36410:20

[50] thanks. hopefully he does get the chance. but it'll be hard to be as good as he's been after a break.

[49] Yes, but... if you were watching, you'd know that feels like a minor issue.
He was completely dominant. All his pitches were working, the Mariners looked demoralized, they were flailing.

Hm, the NOAA Hourly Forecast Graph makes it look like the rain could end soon.

Complete game no-nos of 8 innings or less:
http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/N6cOs

Everybody ready?

[52] It's so painful.

[56] Are we coming back?

Here we go...

[58] CC coming back?

Ironically, David Cone is in the ballpark! Now if Alanis Morisette were here, that would be ironic.

Breaking ball strike.

Strike two.

[60] :))

[59] He is back. Paul O. guesses the delay won't really bother him. But now it's raining more. (Are you watching the game, Mr OK?)

Oh, this little pissante worries me.

HA!

Six.

I think Michael Kay is going to hyperventilate.

Chone Figgins has an OBP of .235. His OPS is .476.

Lower, now.

[63] Only Gameday today, but had Sox-Royals on during delay.

still looks nasty.

Fuck, it's pouring again.

Did CC ask them all to swing at everything?

Wow, back sooner than I thought, went out for a walk.

I guess they decided a little rain was worth playing through with a perfecto going ...

radar looks like the worst is through, but there might be a couple cells to follow.

If I were the Mariners ... I would bunt.

Fucking Ichiro...

Here we go...

Strike two...

OHHHHHHH!!!!

FUCKIN' A!

8 to go!

73 pitches .... 58 strikes!

Now I'm feeling it. This could happen.

Damn.

Oohhhhhhhh.

Oh.

Fuck, there it goes.

Gotta wonder what might have been without the delay.

damn

Sheeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaat.

Fucking Megan's Law looking Mook.

Well, at least that's a career high for K's.

Sigh.

I'm still disappointed.

I might grow to like this CC character

Let the sky open up, and end this game now. ☁☂
Hello everyone.

CC will get his eventually.

He IS the premiere pitcher of the AL. ♕

Man.
Just 8 non-Ichiro Mariners to go.

Sigh.

Andrew Miller spit the bit, Ace is in for the Sox. But Boston starts the bottom of the fifth with five straight hits to take a 9-7 lead.

[92] The Vulture, living up to his name, wherever he pitches ...

Now 12-7.
I thought the Royals had a good bullpen.

Anyone surprised that C.C. is still in there?

90) Jered Weaver and Justin Verlander might have something to say about that.

[95] Yeah, me.

Just don't see the point of taking any risk there.

I guess it was only 14 minutes, but still.

He's

i'm home in NY. watched the first 3 innings. CC was unfair. just wow.

went for some Thai food w/ my parental units. Cult texted me about the perfecto. i wasn't surprised CC was dealing, but i figured that it would get gone. then, my dad said "no-hitter" at the dinner table and i was like, "NO. NO.!!!" then Cult texted me: nevermind.

in any case, thanks for the heads up, Cult!!! : )

oh well. i can't believe the brown bear is back out after 2 rain delays. he's been ruling lately. i loves it!!!

damn Shit Sox and they're daily dose of double digits. DOUBLE FRICK!!!

99) YO! Where you been, Hoss?
