cincy philly

no thread?

Travis Wood is 3 outs away

MLB TV of course has it. ( I love this network)

I hope this kid goes doesn't do a pedro martinez and lose the perfect game.

Contreras is warming up.

Travis Wood coming to pitch in the bottom of the ninth. A walkoff would be devastating. I think the Phillies have 2 walkoffs in the past two days

Vs. Phillies in a 0-0 game.

Can anyone provide any info on this guy? I've never heard of him.

Would he be the first pitcher to retire the first 27 and not get a perfect game?

Armando Galarraga this year and Mike Mussina come to mind

[Sockinchisox]

Over.

[soxnut1018]

Well it's all over now.

[Boondock Saint]

It's gone.

edit: And he might get stuck with the loss. What a kick in the junk.

[spongyfungy]

and he loses it. Carlos Ruiz in the alley for a double

Technically I don't think either of them retired the first 27. However Harvey Haddix had what, 12 perfect innings and then lost.

Thanks for the RBI single, Jimmy Rollins.:bandance::bandance:

In 1959, Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates threw 12 perfect innings in a 0-0 ballgame. He lost the game 1-0 in the 13th on an error and a subsequent homer. Armando Galarraga is not alone!

pedro maritinez pitched 9 perfect innings in a game that went to extras when he played for the expos. he was pulled in the 10th after giving up a hit but still got the win
