I've noticed some tendencies with no-hitters/perfect games being broken up: 1) they're often broken by the leadoff batter in an inning. 2) they're broken with a HR a lot. 3) the pitcher often has a rough outing after allowing the first hit. Usually, and as we saw today, one of these is met.

- Fielding mistakes made CC's outing a lot worse than it should have been. - Swisher really needs to pick it up in the outfield. 2 plays should have been made that he didn't make. First, the sliding catch that was dropped, and the sliding probably wasn't necessary. Then, misplaying a line drive base hit that allowed runner to score from first. - We're finally seeing Cano take more pitches this season, but his buddy Melky, needs to take more in my opinion. Sometimes, he doesn't take enough pitches in an AB, and sometimes, he swings at the wrong counts. Anyway, as I said before, we're not going to win every game, and especially against a good offensive team that plays well at home, you can't expect things to be easy. What's important is that we bounce back tomorrow.

He did have a rough outing, but on the bright side, Sabathia got his 1,500th K with 6 on the night.

Buehrle's bid at a second straight perfect game is broken. Props to him for his 45 straight retired batters, though.

Amazing job, RD. One thing, though, is it possible to bring back the small indicators for read and unread forums next to subforum names on the board index?

I'm interested in knowing how Rubin will do his job before a new GM comes in.

I don't understand what Minaya was implying by saying Rubin wanted a baseball job if it wasn't that Rubin broke the story so he could have Bernazard's job.

I put the old YT channel up, it's only a matter of time before everyone has to switch to the new one, which I don't like a whole lot. I'll also upload some offseason clips once I fix my Firefox. But to all the members that weren't on the old OTR, subscribe if you have an account.

I was just taking look at milestones, and I saw that today would be Mark Teixeira 1,000th career game. I also saw that today's starter, CC Sabathia, is four strikeouts away from 1500 for his career.

Three games in Tampa Bay, from which we've won the first. Four games in Chicago against the ChiSox. Two games in Toronto. CC Sabathia (10-6, 3.67) vs. Scott Kazmir (4-6, 6.69) Joba Chamberlain (6-2, 3.86) vs. Matt Garza (7-7, 3.68) Another outstanding performance by Burnett yesterday, and great hitting off James Shields and the rest of the Rays pitching staff. Albaladejo has been getting hit terribly, and Robertson has been a bit shaky, though.

It takes some time in a game before Mitre can get that sinker to dive. He needs to have that sinker working from the start so our offense doesn't need to put up 7 runs in order to win. However, a great homestand and an amazing start to the second half.

Father worked behind the plate, son will be on the mound.

The final hearings are this week, but Forest City Ratner does not have the architect's final renderings of the BC ready.

Celtics Blog There's a lot of names being brought up by Boston sources. According to Celtics Central, Ed Najera and Sean Williams could also get involved.

Well we saw him hit jumpers just inside the arc during the regular season, it was only a matter of time before he started hitting 3's.

So both Harris and Lopez impressed. Harris opened people's eyes on Day 1, and Lopez, who wasn't hitting jumpers he usually made on Day 1, put on a show the next day.

It's a big disappointment when the Yankees fight back but still fall short. That was a great pitching duel until the top of the 7th inning. Gio was cruising through our order time and time again. Pettitte is looking solid, and he's been a second half pitcher in the past. It seems like it was just a rare, rough inning. Aceves also had a rare, rough outing, and that happens every now and then. But of course, you can't take effective pitching and hitting for granted. There will be games when things won't go well, and a winning streak ends at some point.

http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1929-ratner-wants-to-ensure-move-to-brooklyn-after-selling-team/ There are a couple of potential buyers that would still make the Brooklyn move, and Ratner wants to make sure that the Nets still move after ownership changes.

Well we got off to slow starts in the last two games also, and after our first hit, our offense got going.

If the Yankees do make a trade, it will be for a pitcher. Also, with the Wang injury, the Yankees are taking another look at Doc Halladay. Ricciardi may want to trade within the AL East, because if the Red Sox and Yankees compete with offers, the Jays may get even more.
