Somebody should tell Steve Physioc not to jinx Angels pitchers. Angels vs Rangers, Lackey has no-hit probably the #2 offence in the American League through four innings. As we go to commercial, Steve Physioc mentiones the no-hitter, or rather the "No Hi..." as Rex Hulder tried to interrupt.
Still, leadoff batter in the 5th comes up, and... yup... there's the first hit of the game for the Rangers. On the upside, the Angels still have a 3-0 lead. Let's hope Lackey can keep it together now his no-hit bid is over.
I was at that game last night. It wasn't a jinx... it was just "lack"ey of spring conditioning.
Lackey was clearly out of gas. The only reason he was still in was that he had pitched 4 2/3, there were 2 outs, and Scioscia (I'm sure) wanted him to get the win.
Great game, last night, by the way.
Unfortunately, there was a rally monkey appearance.
