This year was crazy for no-hitters, but when someone throws one I'll be damned if I'm going to act like it's no big feat. Although I live in Ohio, I'm not a big Reds fan but do root for them. I know it's disappointing that the Pirates decided to suck the second half of the year, but throwing a no-hitter takes skill, luck and possibly a bad call or two (like we've seen with Santana). Rarely will you ever see a no-hitter thrown with total domination and not a single close call. So whoever throws one, gets a tip of the cap from me...twenty seven outs without a hit is amazing! Even if it was against the lowly Pirates. Look at the Astros. The Astros are a Single-A ballclub...they should be getting no-hit on a weekly basis if it were that easy!

Give credit where credit is due...
