Other Sports White Sox pitcher going for a 1 run no hitter

Delano · 05-06-2008, 08:14 PM

Gavin Floyd is six outs away from a no hitter.

It is, however, not a shutout.

By way of a walk, an error, and a sacrifice fly, the Twins were able to get a run across. The White Sox are going to win, but that sucks for Floyd.

How odd is that? I'd be pissed at the left fielder, Carlos Quentin , who had a ball hit him in the glove and bounce out.

I don't think this has ever happened before.

Guy gets a no hitter, but not a shutout.

Broken up by a Joe Mauer double.

LOL

Maybe if they had a speedy center fielder instead of Nick Swisher.

I was at a Cards/Braves game in St. Louis years ago where BOTH starters threw no-hitters through 9. The Braves ended up winning in extra innings.

Hot, boring, and an awful ending. Plus I had to put up with my wife's crap (huge Braves fan) all the way back to Chicago.

I hate pitchers' duels.

My favorite game of all time was a pitchers duel.

Quote:

Jack Morris was seen as one of the most dominant pitchers of the late 1980s. However, his most memorable game was Game 7 of the 1991 World Series with the Twins, in which he gave a marathon 10-inning shutout performance against the Atlanta Braves. An epic game that Morris himself called, "a classic, a flat-out beautiful ballgame."The Twins scored the games’ only run in the bottom of the 10th to win the series. Jack Morris was then named the World Series Most Valuable Player and forever a hero and baseball “great” in the eyes of Minnesota Twins fans everywhere.

Beautiful!

That was in the late 80's or early 90's right? I remember that (I was just a small kid then... probably 8 or so). It was put on a baseball card "commeorating" (sp?) that.
