Extra Innings: 04/19/07
Marz’s thoughts: Not only was Mark Buerhle great in his no-hitter in Chicago but I give alot of credit to AJ Pierzynski as well. As a catcher, in situations like this one, it is a real honor to be associated with the accomplishment. I was disheartened watching the ball go through Randy Johnson’s legs when i was catching in a game in Seattle. It was the closest I ever was to being a part of a no-hitter. The date was July 16th, 1998 vs. the Minnesota Twins at the Kingdome. Brent Gates got the only hit that day against RJ.
P.S. – Vinny wore a Mark Buerhle shirt in studio today showing that he has WAY too many shirts and my guess is he will wear his A-Rod shirt tomorrow because he is nothing but a front runner!
Cuch’s thoughts: Thank goodness that Sanjaya is finally out of American Idol. Personally, i couldn’t care less who wins the thing. I just like Simon because he is the only one is gives legit statements…however, Sanjaya was a debacle and no longer funny!
P.S. – Bobby Cox signed an extension with the Braves and that is great news for the organization. When Cox, the Jones’ and Smoltz leave – i will be sad to see the official end of the dynasty in Atlanta.
Leading Off - Remembering John Marzano (1963-2008) 
being a Rangers fan as well as a Yankees fan I wasn’t all that thrilled to see Mark Buerhle’s no hitter.
But it was a spectacular showing , I must admit…
Like it or not.

Ah, thanks for reading my thoughts on the no-no, Vinny. I’ll try to listen to the show but I’m pretty hard pressed for time at school – if you’re a regular reader of my blog I’m sure you know that. But I’ll try to listen to an archive of todays show if I can to hear your thoughts on that.

No-hitters are what makes baseball so exciting. I mean to see a pitcher at their absolute best determined to dominate. That is why baseball is so great. I tip my hat to Buerhle and the White Sox.
