If you've ever been in attendance at a sporting event that would make history, you know how the excitement can build. For Met's’ fan Rafael Diaz, he just couldn't help himself as his New York Mets celebrated the first no-hitter in the teams history! Diaz leaped from the stands and joined the celebration on the pitchers mound with a host of Met's players. He was promptly tackled and tased by author
Justin Verlander didn't even have his "A" game today. But he is proving every time he takes the mound that he is one of the most formidable pitchers in the game. He kept the Mets from putting slowpitch softball-like numbers on the scoreboard today and the Tigers won 5-2.
At least tonight they put up a fight. But it wasn't enough and the New York Mets continued to pound Tiger pitching to the tune of a 16-9 win. The Tigers hit 5 homers, two by Miguel Cabrera, but every time they got back in the game the Mets would score some more. Phil Coke gave up 4 runs in the first inning
Rick Porcello didn't have it tonight. He gave up 7 runs to the New York Mets and didn't make it out of the 4th inning. Daniel Schlereth relieved Porcello and appeared to throw gas on the fire. By the time Schlereth hit the showers, the Tigers were down 13-0.
Run across the baseball field and not get tackled by police? Challenge accepted!
A recent video has surfaced on YouTube documenting a bizarre incident near the end of the Astros vs. Mets game on May 13. While Mark Lancaster was trying to capture the 9th inning of the game, a fan jumped out on the field and proceeded to make the great escape.
