If he just would have had a better attitude, Leake would still have his no hitter.

He just didn't want it enough.
He’ll get around to throwing a no-hitter some other time.
by the finest muffins on May 9, 2010 2:30 PM EDT up reply actions
a one hit shutout is just as effective
he probably has mother’s day plans with his mom and doesn’t want a bunch of people mobbing him. He will throw a no hitter next time out when it won’t ruin his mother’s day plans.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.
SCREW YOU CHESHIRECAT!

Show him that it's a bad idea to celebrate when you succeed in a game!

kids these days are weak
when i played little league, we didn’t keep track of how many pitches were thrown because it didn’t matter!
no,
but 30 of them were splitters and another 20 were curves

You shouldn't be allowed to throw a curve until you're a senior in high school.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
I thought there was a pitch limit, but apparently not
"The Asian language is very different than ares." -- Justin007000
someone (you) should complain to the league
seriously. reading all of those stories about kids getting tommy john at age 14 has made me an advocate of pitch limits in LL
It's the braking pitches, not the overall amount.
They should outlaw breaking pitches until high school.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
I was also surprised to find there's no batter limit per inning
The boy’s team batted around twice in the second inning and won something like 30-3.

i have no problem with run rules
like no reason to play the full game if there is a 20 run lead in the 4th, but I think having batter limits is going too far.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.
The score was 26-0 at the time
In the second inning. The caoches asked at about 20-0 if they could just let the other team bat but they weren’t allowed.
"The Asian language is very different than ares." -- Justin007000
Hmm- Did they have younger umpires?
They might not have felt like they had the authority or something… try and find the guys in charge of the umpiring deal with stuff like that.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Pitch counts at least need to be used.
That’s serious business. You’re gonna have a lot of dead arms and surgeries by high school otherwise.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Because 9 year olds don't need to get beat 30-3
Just like they don’t need to get called “idiots” by grown men at ballgames.
Does everyone need a trophy, no, I don’t think so, but there’s no need to bet blown the fuck out of the water.

what league is this?
little league, knothole, and babe ruth all have pretty good control over pitch counts and run rules and all.
really?
huh. i thought knothole was better than that. esp since kremchek is a big advocate for youth baseball pitch counts, etc. (for all the kriticism of him, he is actively involved in health issues in youth ball.)

i have a funny cuba story
today was election day, and there were armed militias rolling around in hummers with giant guns on top. also, the “political parties” had supporters standing near the polls passing out “ballots” – little pieces of paper with the names of the politicians on them – computer print outs cut up – you just put those in the boxes to vote straight ticket. it was quite the circus.

“Don’t you get tired of seeing the same tired teams every week on Sunday Night Baseball?”
Indeed.
We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.
Couldn't agree more.

Its a great weekend for schadenfreude
between this and the fact that every time I go to weather.com, they have a picture of Kenny Cheseny and his flooded McMansion

Some "thoughts" on today's game from BCB
B.V. (Before Votto)
Christ, here we go
Great play by Koyie Hill This is the kind of stuff we need to be doing
HOT DIGGITY DAMN!
obvious “yes’s” coming but is everyone in hte reds organization total doucheboxes? the main qualification must be that you cry when things dont go your way, and be a dick when they do…
(oh the delicious irony of this coming from a whiny Scrubs fan)
Bouncer to Lee, throw to second, they get one, and that’s all DONT REMOVE DEMPSTER, LOU!!!!!1
A.V. (After Votto planted his foot squarely in the Cubs’ asses)
Son. Of. A. Bitch.
I’m crying right now :(
Damn you Votto. Damn you.
I think that about clinches it for Joey Votto’s election into the Cub-Killers Hall of Fame

"Pretty revolting road trip against perennial losing teams"
Perrenial loser, you say? A fucking Cubs fan called someone ELSE a perrenial loser?
Cubs wins in the last 20 years – 1,639
Reds wins in the last 20 years – 1,635
Never mind the old-and-busted “103 years without a World Series title” line.
Your ace is in the bullpen in favor of CARLOS FUCKING SILVA and costing you $18 million/year.
Your highest paid position player went out and threw up a .726 OPS last year for the bargain basement price of $17 million/year. The good news is you’re on the hook for that contract until he’s a spry 38 years old.
Oh yeah, you’re currently sitting in 5th place in a mediocre-at-best division. You know what? Maybe you oughtta just shut the fuck up and quit bitching about other organizations being full of “doucheboxes”.

Oh, and you pissed me off enough to do research
Shame on you.

I realized after the fact
That’s actually the win totals for 21 years, not 20. If you do 20 years you get this:
Cubs wins – 1,546
Reds wins – 1,557
So there’s that.

Reds are over .500 and 2nd place.
if the season ended tomorrow, I’d be pretty happy with that.
I mean, I’d wonder what happened to the last 5 months of baseball, but hey!
