Word is out that Albert Pujols is getting released today.
His second career was pretty crappy.

Scott, what do you expect, consistency and logic from MLB?

Not a no-hitter.
The rule defining what is a no+hitter changed in 91. Unless you get nine innings, it wont count.
Even this one got removed:
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using TapatalkIt also wiped out games like Andy Hawkins’ eight-inning no-hit effort in 1990. Hawkins’ Yankees and the White Sox were tied*0-0*heading into the bottom of the eighth in Chicago. With two outs, young ChiSox speedster Sammy Sosa — yep, him — reached on an error by third baseman Mike Blowers, and then he stole second. Hawkins walked the next two batters to load the bases. Robin Ventura lofted a lazy fly ball to left field that should have ended the inning, but Jim Leyritz — a catcher by trade — dropped the ball (it was windy, but the ball hit the glove squarely), and all three runners scored.*
Then Ivan Calderon lofted a lazy fly ball to right field, but Jesse Barfield dropped that one, too, and Ventura scored to put the White Sox up*4-0. When the Yankees failed to tie the game in the top of the ninth, the game was over. Hawkins was initially in the no-hit club, but the 1991 ruling — a discussion, no doubt spurred by the Hawkins game, and a rain-shortened six-inning no-hitter by Melido Perez 11 days later — booted him out.

Baseball trivia time. In 1917, Babe Ruth started the game for the Red Sox. Walked the first guy, argued with the ump, got tossed and to top off a very interesting 1 batter game, punched the ump. Ernie Shore came in relief, the runner was thrown out trying to steal second and then proceeded to mow down the next 26 batters.
More Babe Ruth trivia. A few years ago I was walking in a field just outside Milford, UK, a tiny hamlet just south of Godalming (where Charterhouse School is, and the place where Genesis formed) and saw a plaque stating that Babe Ruth had played there. I did an internet search and apparently Ruth visited US troops stationed in the UK during the Second World War and must have had a game then. Milford would be hard to find on a map and it just seemed so incongruous that this baseball legend had played on some dusty field there. I have been wanting to tell that story for years!

When Richard Rodriquez struck out Nick Martini, Bob Walk color analyst remarked "He got him with a high-ball"
Another no-hitter last night.
Seattle was no-hit for the second time in two weeks.

Topic for discussion: MLB should remove the Pitcher Wins stat. It's arbitrarily awarded and therefore meaningless.
Thoughts?
