It was indescribable.
The Cleveland Indians-Detroit Tigers game was whizzing by...and by the 7th inning, it was still a no-no.
Situations like these, I am rooting for my Tribe to somehow muster up enough power, energy to at least get on the board....
But when you are watching something like this with 'the' Jim Donovan, wkyc sports anchor and radio voice of the Cleveland Browns, it's enjoyable whatever the outcome.
AND, the fact that Armando Galarraga's perfect game/no hitter went until batter #27 --holy!
So, in the midst of the work day, it's true the entire newsroom took time out to watch the 8th and 9th innings. Even those who have no interest whatsoever in baseball, Cleveland Indians' baseball or sports in general were on the edge of their seats.
I told Producer Carrie, 'You may have a new lead sweetie, stay tuned!'
Listening to Jim Donovan --PRICELESS!
For the final batter, the newsroom went wild --screaming and flailing arms....not many other businesses you can actually do that, that's for sure!!
I can't believe I am actually saying this but the Indians were no hit for all intense purposes.....Umpire Jim Joyce blew the call at 1st on little Jason Donald's infield hit.....and we were ALL upset for Armando Galarraga. That kid pitched a perfect game, should have got the call and exhibited amazing grace and soft spokenness after the game.
The day at work perfect in so many respects --work was awesome.....got all my work done and soooo much more, including tons of web stuff since we have a few of the web folks on vacation...but more importantly watching a Perfect Game with the best darn sportscaster in the world!
P-E-R-F-E-C-T!
