The Box Score That Broke My Brain
This is a screen shot taken from my computer at 11:46 Eastern Time last night.
There is a game between the Padres and the Dodgers. It is the sixth inning. The pitchers are Clayton Kershaw and Jason Marquis. There is a no-hitter in progress.
The pitcher with the no-hitter is Jason Marquis.
My brain has just exploded.
Twitter is also very confused.
Anyone that thinks Marquis can complete a no hitter is a moron and likely voted Braun 2011 MVP. #Dodgers #Padres

Jason Marquis is going to throw a no hitter tonight at age 74.

If Jason Marquis throws a no-hitter, I will believe I can fly.

I fell asleep on the couch during this game, as Kershaw was off and watching Jason Marquis is the baseball-watching equivalent of an Ativan injection.
When I woke up and heard Scully say something about Marquis’ no-no getting broken up, I figured I was hearing things and went to bed.
