I'm Full of Soup বলেছেন...: "Doc" Halladay is his nickname. That's pretty cool. I guessed there had only been 25 perfectos ever- I wasn't far off.

Go Phils!; ২৯/৫/১০, ১১:০২ PM

Prosecutorial Indiscretion বলেছেন...: The last time we saw two perfect games in the same month in the majors was June 1880, and the involved teams were Worcestor, Providence, Buffalo, and Cleveland.; ২৯/৫/১০, ১১:০৭ PM

I'm Full of Soup বলেছেন...: PI:

You saw those games?? Give me some of whatever you eat and drink! :); ২৯/৫/১০, ১১:১৬ PM
The rule of Lemnity বলেছেন...: Wouldn't a perfect game be 27 pitches 27 outs?

Just saying ;); ২৯/৫/১০, ১১:৩৫ PM
Daniel12 বলেছেন...: No, Lem, that's crazy. It would be 81 pitches, 27 strikeouts. And Brendan Frasier did it.; ২৯/৫/১০, ১১:৪৩ PM
The rule of Lemnity বলেছেন...: I think Joe West would disagree. 81 pitches its just too long for him.

After a series in which two nine-inning games topped the 3-hour-45-minute mark, umpire Joe West criticized the Red Sox and Yankees for their pace of play in yesterday’s Bergen Record, calling the problem “pathetic and embarrassing.’’

“They’re the two clubs that don’t try to pick up the pace,’’ said West, the crew chief. “They’re two of the best teams in baseball. Why are they playing the slowest? It’s pathetic and embarrassing. They take too long to play.’’; ৩০/৫/১০, ১২:৩৮ AM
RuyDiaz বলেছেন...: Against the Marlins...

...son of a *%&@$%...; ৩০/৫/১০, ৩:০৬ AM
Bob_R বলেছেন...: Go Phillies! Unfortunately, the way they have been hitting this week, they need a perfect game to win.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৪:৪৮ AM
campy বলেছেন...: No one will ever top Harvey Haddix's performance in May '59 ...; ৩০/৫/১০, ৫:২১ AM
traditionalguy বলেছেন...: It was one win on one night, and the Braves are still stalking these Perfect Philadelphians game for game.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৭:৪৩ AM
AllenS বলেছেন...: Sometimes there isn't much to celebrate, but these last two games that the Brewers played were very exciting. Go Brew Crew!; ৩০/৫/১০, ৭:৪৫ AM
traditionalguy বলেছেন...: The Braves are not a dull 27 straight outs type of team. In Atlanta the strategy is to first get behind early by 3 or 4 runs and then win it in the last two inninngs. Never a dull moment around here.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৭:৪৮ AM
নামহীন বলেছেন...: I've never even seen a no-hitter, much less a perfect game. But I saw something which is even rarer than a perfect game, although it doesn't seem like it should be that rare. I saw a player (it was Nomar Garciaparra) hit two grand slams in one game.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৮:২৪ AM
The Crack Emcee বলেছেন...: Doc Ellis pitched a perfect game - on two tabs of acid - and I still can't decide whether that's an amazing accomplishment or the stupidest shit I've ever heard.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৯:২৪ AM
campy বলেছেন...: Doc Ellis pitched a perfect game

No, he walked eight that day.

Still amazing, just not perfect.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৯:৪৩ AM
I'm Full of Soup বলেছেন...: This reminds me - Bissage was a Phillies fan.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৯:৫৭ AM
Wince বলেছেন...: Perfect?

I heard he got a B- in torts.; ৩০/৫/১০, ১০:০৭ AM
Fred4Pres বলেছেন...: It is due to Obama batting.

Then again, his pitching sucks too.; ৩০/৫/১০, ১২:০৬ PM
Fred4Pres বলেছেন...: EDH, what did Kagan get in ConLaw? Because under Kagan they don't require it any more at Harvard. Students there should expand their sources of the law, not worry about that moldy old Constitution.

That seems like a slow pitch softball for the GOP when the hearings start.; ৩০/৫/১০, ১২:০৯ PM
Anne Freedman বলেছেন...: I've got to assume this is Meade's influence. Didn't you use to be a baseball -- or all sports -- agnostic?; ৩০/৫/১০, ১২:২৮ PM
Wince বলেছেন...: F4P,

I didn't know about that change to the required courses under Kagan, and I agree that's pretty damning. I'd like to hear her thinking behind that decision.

They posted Kagan's full HLS transcript.; ৩০/৫/১০, ১২:৩০ PM
Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: "I've got to assume this is Meade's influence. Didn't you use to be a baseball -- or all sports -- agnostic?"

I've got 71 posts with the tag baseball, the earliest one being May 2006. Meade does not enter the Althouse real-world reality until January 2009.

Meade and I don't watch baseball games. I have hung out on the computer while he watches basketball or football, but I'm not seeing any baseball around here. I think he notes the scores of Reds games.

Meanwhile, I remember my father and grandfather watching Phillies games together. We lived in Delaware.; ৩০/৫/১০, ২:২৫ PM
Mick বলেছেন...: I was there. History, 20th perfect game ever.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৩:৪৪ PM
I'm Full of Soup বলেছেন...: Come to think of it Althouse, the Phils owner back then was a Delawarean named Bob Carpenter. His son Ruly took over the team and still owned it,I think, when they won the Series in 1980.

Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: "Back then" for me was the 1950s and 60s.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৪:৩২ PM
I'm Full of Soup বলেছেন...: Right, that is when the Carpenters were the owners.; ৩০/৫/১০, ৪:৩৪ PM
নামহীন বলেছেন...: I once met a guy in Washington who worked in Jim Bunning's office. This was quite a few years ago, when Bunning was still in the House. I asked him if his boss ever talked about his perfect game. And he gaved me a strange look. "I work for Jim Bunning.... the Congressman," he said condescendingly. He had absolutely no idea what Bunning had done prior to entering politics.; ৩১/৫/১০, ১:০০ AM
