May 9, 201016 yr In 4-0 win over Tampa Bay. It is only the second perfect game in A's history, the first being by Catfish Hunter in 1968.
May 9, 201016 yr WOW! I have been watching final round of the Players all day, NBA stuff, had no idea this happened. :dancingpa
May 9, 201016 yr 19th perfect game in MLB history... Didn't come against a pushover team either, as the Rays are currently leading the AL.
May 9, 201016 yr Went to 3-1 on the last hitter- I thought he might walk him, but he got the guy to hit a dribbler to short for history!
May 9, 201016 yr Awesome seeing him and his mom embracing after the game on Mother's Day. He did it against arguably the top team in baseball up to this point.
May 10, 201016 yr After Sunday's game, Braden's grandmother told reporters: "Stick it, A-Rod." http://content.usatoday.com/communities/dailypitch/post/2010/05/athletics-dallas-braden-takes-break-from-baiting-a-rod-has-perfect-game-against-rays/1 Stay classy, Bradens.

Horrible decision by Braden to say that. Take the perfect game with class and show it on the field. No sense in bringing this up time and time again, he needs to drop it and move on!

I think she was perfectly justified in saying it.
May 10, 201016 yr I think she was perfectly justified in saying it. I could say a lot of things on BGP that would have justification. It doesn't mean it would be the "right" thing to do.
May 10, 201016 yr Read the link Clyde posted and you quoted. I did and I see nothing about A-Rod saying anything about his grandmother.
May 10, 201016 yr I did and I see nothing about A-Rod saying anything about his grandmother. She was taking up for her grandson by thumbing her nose at someone who demeaned her grandson. Pretty typical parental behaior, actually.
May 10, 201016 yr Author What did A-Rod say a couple of days ago? Something along the lines of "I'm not going to extend his 15 minutes of fame." He had it coming. Plus, Braden took care of extending it all on his own.
