Back in the Koufax/Drysdale era there was a story circulating that Koufax pitched a no-hitter and someone called Drysdale, who happened to be home for some unknown reason, and Drysdale's comment was......"did he win?"
Last night Jared Weaver of the Los Angeles Angles from a place in Anaheim...knows how that really feels.
Koufax had won his game 1-0
Weaver lost his game 1-0
The fact that the Dodgers could win a game without getting a hit could mean one of two things.....
They will now go on an incredible run that will take them to the playoffs
or
They will continue to not hit and we will have this unique game as our main 2008 Dodger memory.
I sure hope it's option number one but I've got a sneaky feeling it might be option number two......
Not hitting cannot be a good thing for a major league baseball team....unless you have guys named Koufax and Drysdale....and the last time I looked
they have
Lowe and Penny
It's really hard to congratulate a team on winning a game without getting a hit but history is history and the Dodgers entered another page into the record books.
A record book that contains detailed information pertaining to men playing with their hard balls and big sticks.
Ya gotta love it!
Thank you Dodgers for adding another moment to my list of cherish memories even though this one ends with a.......
huh?
By the way
the last blog stayed up extra long
because I want it to be known.
Read it again and make sure you tell your friends
the ones sitting on the fence
you know who they are!
