White Sox Pitcher 3 Outs From Perfect Game

[klunderbunker]

He's perfect through 8. There's one out in the top of the 9th with the Sox at bat.

And thanks to the joyous MLB blackout restrictions I haven't been able to watch any of it. FOX is going to go to it live to the bottom of the ninth instead of this fairly pedestrian Red Sox/Yankees game, but what the fuck, man, I have MLB.tv, I should have been able to to get in on this in the sixth.

 

[klunderbunker]

Two down in the top of the 9th.

 

[klunderbunker]

I love this kind of stuff.

 

[klunderbunker]

We go to the bottom of the 9th.

 

[Harthan]

Very exciting. I think the critical thing here is he's only thrown 80 pitches. He shouldn't be particularly tired. Just don't let the pressure get to you and hope to Christ your fielders are on the money.

Sure hope Jim Joyce isn't working this game...

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh get off this split screen crap. NO ONE CARES ABOUT A 9-1 BLOWOUT RIGHT NOW.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh man he's 3-0.

 

[klunderbunker]

3-1.

 

[klunderbunker]

I like how he doesn't take 30 seconds between each pitch. Just get it done.

 

[klunderbunker]

Two to go.

 

[klunderbunker]

THANK YOU!

 

[klunderbunker]

Sick breaking ball.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh shit. Oh shit. Listening at work. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit.

 

[klunderbunker]

This is awesome.

 

[CH David]

I'm shaking right now.

 

[klunderbunker]

He's out!

 

[klunderbunker]

WOW! He fouled it off and it was a passed ball but the catcher threw him out at first.

 

[CH David]

HUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[justinsayne]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT!!!!!!

 

[Harthan]

Holy shit! What a finish. Can't ask for more drama than that.

 

[klunderbunker]

Think the catcher might have let that go on purpose so that it wasn't a walk?

He went for it. Didn't just let it slide by him. He's a good actor if he did indeed let it go by him intentionally.

I was shaking for that shit. It ain't every day you see a perfect game.
