8/10/08 Nationals (Lannan) at Brewers (Parra): 1:05 PM CDT

[sheethead]

Has Lannan even thrown a strike yet?

Not many.

[uecker9]

Ned's fixing a hole

to get baserunners in

Counsell, Hall or Branyan

Who will play third...

[sauveb]

You just saw why Mike Rivera hardly ever plays. His mechanics on that wild pitch were terrible. High school catchers would come closer than that.

[B2k1121]

The Brewers are getting themselves out.

[Trowekamp]

Talk about high school 70% of high school 2b can turn a DP better than Rickie

[owbc]

In Milwaukee, where I was born

Lived a fan who played the game,

And he told us of his life

In the stadium named Miller Park,

 

So we drove on I-94

'Till we found the sea of grills

And we cheered beneath the roof

In our stadium, Miller Park

 

We all cheer in our stadium: Miller Park

our stadium Miller Park, our stadium Miller Park

We all cheer in our stadium: Miller Park

our stadium: Miller Park, our stadium: Miller Park

Parra appreciates all these extra chances to throw pitches Rickie. Way to get the basics done once again.

[owbc]

In Rickie's defense, JJ Hardy threw away a DP ball on Friday night.

 

Where has all the offense gone?

[Trowekamp]

In Rickie's defense, JJ Hardy threw away a DP ball on Friday night.

 

Where has all the offense gone?

Hardy's degree of difficulty to turn that DP on Friday: 8

 

Rickie's on that play: 3

[sheethead]

Lannan with a solid 4 innings of NO HIT baseball. I wonder how long he can keep up this NO HIT pace at Miller Park.

[uecker9]

Lannan has an Ono going?

[sheethead]

Manny with 61 pitches thrown through 5 IP, 45 for strikes.

 

Lannan with 63 pitches thrown through 4 IP, 38 for strikes. Also, Lannan has a NO HITTER through 4 IP. Can he get through 5 with the NO HITTER in tact?

[jason21nl]

i heard there was a NO HITTER! being thrown so far today

[Trowekamp]

Nice to see Rivera is waiting for a strike unlike the other brewers..

[owbc]

Rivera is an expert at sitting and waiting.

[sheethead]

Good hustle out of the box Richie. Good to see you doing your best to help the team to a victory today.

[sheethead]

That might be all the Nationals need as long as Lannan's NO HITTER keeps going.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

there goes the 2 game 5 2/3 innings shut out

[dlk9s]

there goes the 2 game 5 2/3 innings shut out

Prince should beat up Parra again for this.

 

[dpapo]

Seeing how Lannan is throwing a NO HITTER, that might have been the ball game. I'm getting the Nat announcers and they appear afraid to say the word NO HITTER. Is Brian Anderson mentioning that Lannan is throwing a NO HITTER.

[sargennm]

Prince smash time.

[sargennm]

Just drive a pitch to the outfield here Billy.

[owbc]

There goes the no-no...and I was just about to post how the last no-hitter in Expos/Nationals history was by Dennis Martinez in 1991 at Dodger Stadium.

[sheethead]

What a way for the no hitter to end. A flare to center, ha.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Good patience shown by Cameron, as he takes a pitch on the outer half that was clocked at 79 mph, then swung at one high and outside.

 

What are we paying him again?
