Ken Harrelson strikes again
I just wanted to watch the Whitesox and Tigers for a few innings; try to keep my cat
from eating this paper clip
and Ken Harrelson had to speak:
"The errors of this day and age are so much more magnified than the errors of yesteryear."
[Rambling about pitch counts...]
"On a scale of 1-to-10 (errors) used to be a '2'. Now, it's like an '8'."
Why don't you snack on that one for a little while.

Andy Hawkins
I posted this on my old Yankees blog, but I think it's worth another look.
Perhaps the 12 worst days of Andy Hawkins' life
We all remember what happened July 1, 1990: Andy Hawkins throws eight no-hit innings at Comiskey Park and loses, 4-0 to the Whitesox. Sad day for all of us, but especially for me, as the basement in my house had flooded the night before. I didn't even have a basement closet to cry in.
I don't mean to bring up old, horrifying memories; encourage you to remember Stump Merrill....but take a look at Hawkins' two starts after the lost no-hitter:
July 6: the Yanks lose game one of a doubleheader to the Twins, 2-0 in 12 innings (we couldn't stop Gene Larkin: 3-for-4, RBI). What you might not remember is, Hawkins went 11 2/3 innings before allowing run-scoring singles to Brian Harper and Larkin.
11 2/3 innings!
I think it took Jaret Wright five starts in 2006 to get to 11 2/3 innings.
July 12: Hawkins gives up eight earned in 4 1/3 innings in an 8-0 loss. Whitesox pitcher Melido Perez, later a Yankee, throws a no-hitter in six rain-shortened innings.
Quick recap:
Start No. 1 - Throws no-hitter; loses 4-0
Start No. 2 - Pitches 11 2/3 innings, allows two runs with two outs in the 12th inning; loses 2-0
Start No. 3 - Allows eight runs in 4 1/3 innings; loses 8-0; opposing pitcher throws a no-hitter

In these tough economic times....
It's good to just get outside on a rainy day and have a sword fight.
