Be advised: Darvish pitching quite well.

[Palmoripken]

Aww I really wanted him to do it.

[Scrat1]

Haha Gonzalez, what a troll!

[MikeAD]

He just got Mike Mussina'd.

At least he is smiling. Rough.

Mussina I think was two outs away. That game by the way is the closest I've ever gotten to watching a no-no let alone a perfect game from start to finish. Ah just remembered that Mussina had one when he was with the Yankees that came down to the last out. My bad.

Gonzalez probably could have gotten a hit earlier but he waited because he wanted it to be at the most obnoxious moment possible.

We ought to just change the title of this thread to "Some pitcher has a no hitter/perfect game going against the Astros". I would be surprised if this didn't come up again.

"Random coach throwing batting practice has a no-no through seven. 4/11/13"

The only difference was that Mussina actually almost lost that game.

David Cone of the Red Sox was matching Mussina with goose eggs through 8 innings, the Yankees finally pushed a run across in the top of the 9th, and after Carl Everett's single, the Red Sox were one high fly ball over the Green Monster from winning by a score of 2-1.

Good. I hate the Rangers.

Man that sucks

Sounds like a good Onion headline. It's weird having the Stros in the AL. If I had things my way, Miluwakee would have never left the AL but Selig will be Selig.

You guys are talking about two different games.

Mussina gave up a one out single in the 9th to Sandy Alomar in May 1997. In September 2001, Mussina gave up a two-out single to Carl Everett.

Speaking of being one out away from immortality, Bill Bevens actually had a no-hitter in the World Series for 8 and 2/3 innings in 1947, but lost both the no-hitter AND the game when Cookie Lavagetto hit a double in the gap to score the two batters on base (they both walked, one of them intentionally), and win it for the Dodgers, 2-1.

After that World Series, neither Bevens nor Lavagetto ever played another game in the major leagues again.

[notyourbuddy]

One out to go and a single up the middle. So cruel.

(Made me think of the Mussina @ Fenway too)
