Updated version: "Cashman is such a moron for picking up Hairston. And Girardi is a fool for benching A-Rod."
Haha maybe a little harsh, but Pettitte had it going and the O's aren't exactly scary 4-9 besides Markakis.
So, I had to run to get take-out and I'm in the car listening to the game. Memo to John Sterling: SHUT UP! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT THE F*CK UP! STFU!!! Shut up, shut up, shut up!!! He's gushing about Pettitte's perfect game and I'm cringing with every word. John, for the love of God, SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!! And then the error and the hit. I had to get that out... http://johnsterling.blogspot.com/
im in baltimore and was walking around outside camden yards about 6 oclock...I could not believe how many yankee shirts and caps I saw. I didnt even see one Orioles anything...strange
Sterling is just clueless about everything in general. I don't think he's aware of the superstition surrounding perfect games.
While I'm all for Sterling shutting the fuck up, I really don't understand why people actually believe that someone saying something about a perfect game far, far, far out of earshot of the participants in said game has any affect on the outcome of said game. I mean, I'm sure Oriole fans were sitting there saying, "Perfect game! Perfect game!" since the fifth inning or so. Just relax. Then again, something like 80% of people send mental wish lists to some invisible man in the sky, so it's not like I'm totally shocked.
The only player in the history of baseball to win an MVP in the American and National League is...? Frank Robinson with the Orioles and the Reds. That's some impressive trivia answer considering the 100+ years of baseball.
