[Centerfield]

Bartolo Colon has a perfect game through 4. On Sunday Night baseball NOW!!!!

[Centerfield]

Now through 5.

Verlander countering with a 1-hit/1-walk 5 innings of his own, but that one hit was a solo HR

Oh yeah, and ESPN half-missed that HR (the only hit of the game so far) because they were busy running one of their pre-taped segments.
Eh, that's all right, you don't tune in to watch a baseball game anyway, you tune in to watch ESPN and to see ESPN people do ESPN things and cross-promote other ESPN projects.



Big Bart = perfect thru 6

Friggin awesome. Missed nearly all of today's Mets game as we're on vacation in FL, so, I am having a glass of vino and enjoying some Barto tonight.

My enthusiasm for this waned when I turned it on and remembered I would need to listen to Arod.

Oh well, lets go Bartolo!

[Frayed Knot]

SEVEN (on about 80 pitches)

Wonder if his manager will pull him? After all, you don't want to push him and possibly shorten his career!

Is it Don Mattingly?

[Chad ochoseis]

Correa walks...still a no-hitter.

[Fman99]

Dang, a walk and a clean double down the line to start the 8th.

[Lefty Specialist]

7 perfect innings. Against possibly the best team in baseball, the Astros. On national TV.

Give it up for Bartolo.

The D-Backs' Deven Marrero also gave us a Tim McCarver specialty yesterday, losing a homer after passing a teammate on the bases.

not just the best team in baseball, last year, with basically the same guys, they were one of the best offenses _ever_

[Frayed Knot]

And just to show what good pitching can do:

- Rangers 3 - Astros 1
4 runs total on 8 combined hits over 10 full innings in a nationally televised game (ie. longer commercials): Game time = 3:06

- Mets 3 - Brewers 2
5 total runs on 11 hits across 9 not quite full innings (due to the 2-out walk-off): Game time = 3:28



Bart threw 96 pitches over 7.2 innings, Verlander 100 over 8 full
Contrast to Chacin's 85 over just 4 innings (plus he was slow as shit anyway) and Syndergaard's 101 over 5.1
