That sucked. But hey, it was pretty cool anyway.

Yup - a loss but only one loss

and it was pretty cool. Big strike zone and outstanding pitching.

Better than

At least it was better than being no-hit by Scott Erickson. That game sucked.

Oh man

As if the mere memory of the 1994 season wasn't bad enough.

This is pretty miserable.

Congrats to Justin Verlander, though I'm pretty sure MLB will put an asterisk next to his no-hitter in the record books after considering that Counsell and Graffanino were 1-2 in the lineup.

Weird

I've been taking a little vacation from the Brewers, so I missed most of the game yesterday. Did Graffy really swing at a bird?

And Graffanino, who swung at a bird instead of a pitch in the first inning: "There's nothing you can do about it. You have to stay focused. I would rather play without the birds."

after further review

I watched Graffy's 1st inning AB again, and as Verlander throws the pitch a bird flies across the screen between them, Graffy swings and misses and looks at the bird as he heads to the dugout.

It was a nasty enough pitch without the bird there, an 85-mph curve down and away. He wouldn't have been able to do anything with it, bird or no bird.
