Around SBN: The 2009-2010 Card Chronicle Big East basketball preview

I probably won't have the Mug done by 9 am anyway, so swing over to MLB.com tomorrow morning to watch the only no-hitter in Brewers history.

As far as I know,

you can buy the complete Nieves game from iTunes for $1.99. The only two videos on my iPod right now are Nieves and a Mad Men episode.

My only claim to fame

as a Brewers fan is that I was at that game. I didn’t realize the attendance was so low until clicking on that link. The thing that left the biggest impression on me was how the O’s fans were cheering for the Brewers in the 9th. I was young and didn’t realize how rare it was to see a no-no in person. When Yount made that diving catch to end the game the place was one of the loudest I have ever heard a baseball stadium. Especially impressive considering that apparently there weren’t many people there.

working here in the city

Sometimes a “hard reset” cures stuff like that. Disconnect from power and give it 5 minutes or so and fire it back up.

Catch Juan Nieves' No-Hitter?

THAT would be a great promotion for mlb - through the miracle of the MLB Time Machine, you can go back to 1987 and sub for Bill Schroeder, catching Nieves’ no-hitter! Then again, given the problems with the relatively simple task of broadcasting games online, perhaps it’d be best to let someone else first try the MLB Time Machine.

Speaking of no-hitters…this would make for a good trivia question. Since 2006, the Brewers had employed 4 catchers who had caught a no-hitter in the career. (Needless to say, the no-hitters in question had occurred before 2006.) Any guesses?

Kendall is one

Mike Rivera caught Manny Parra’s perfect game in Nashville. Ted Simmons probably caught one at some point. Maybe Butch Wynegar as well?

Not in the majors

But he did contribute mightily to his team getting no-hit once.

I knew you'd get it

Kendall, Simmons, and Butch “Piss and” Wynegar.

I knew you'd make sure a coach or two was in there

The use of “employed” and your reputation for cleverness gave it away. I kind of thought Chad Moeller would have caught one to go with his cycle on the list of “not a sign of talent” feats.
