Catching our attention

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said MLB no longer cedes this time of the year to football.

He's dead wrong on that count, but pitchers are doing their best to keep us watching.

Last weekend, it was Scott Baker flirting with a perfect game Friday. Then Red Sox rookie Clay Buchholz tossed a no-hitter Saturday.

This week, John Smoltz proved old guys have a flair for the dramatic, taking a no-hitter into the eighth.

Football season is here, there is no doubt. But there is plenty of drama left in September baseball.
