By the way, don't know if anybody mentioned it but did that last out remind anybody of the last out in the '83 World Series?

It did for me, and I wasn’t even alive for that!

Nope.  PG is 27 up, 27 down.

He had that...

Comparing no hitters  Palmer vs Means.  Both are special.

Palmer Wednesday August 13 1969 vs the Oakland A's at Memorial Stadium.

Palmer gave up 6 walks but the Oakland lineup was much tougher than this years Mariners.  Reggie Jackson, Bret Campaneris, Sal Bando.

Oakland ended the season 88-74 in 2nd place in the AL West.

And basically had to get 28 outs to make 27 stick.

No really Severino threw out the base runner out trying to steal.  The only base runner in the whole game for the Mariners.

We agree. I was watching.

Everytime I see the line drive to short my mind says thank god they were not in a the shift.  How many times with a left handed hitter up is the SS actually playing there anymore.
