A's don't know how to hit the Knuckle ball?

Wakefield has a no no going into the 8th against the A's.

Damn it, I messed up the no no by posting this.

Thank you now please go ahead and post about how the A's cannot score runs.

Brett Anderson had a nice start in his 2nd major league start. 7.0 IP, 5 K, 2 BB, 1.0 WHIP, 2 earned runs. If he can keep that control and an over 2/1 K/BB ratio, I'll be very optimistic about how he can pitch this year.

It always happens.

Rule #1 - Never talk to or look at the pitcher when he's got a no-hitter going.

Rule #2 - Never talk to or look at the pitcher when he gives up a hit to end the no-hitter.

Question #1 - When do you talk to or look at the pitcher then?

I should be more clear.

The catcher is the only one allowed to look at the pitcher, but that is only to flash signals. In the dugout, just keep clear.

As for when it's ok to talk to or look at the pitcher, the day after is fine, as long as you don't bring up the blown no-hitter.
