Jonathen Sanchez throws a no hitter

Not a Giants fan, but was pumped to watch this guy throw a no hitter. He was one error away from a perfect game.

I wish I'd known this was going on. It would have been excellent to see.

I also wish they weren't counting that error against the perfect game. Who committed it?

Jaun Uribe commited the error.

Juan Uribe booted a slow ground ball at 3rd

First time his Dad's seen him pitch.

And the cat's in the cradle...

Not the easiest play, but definitely an error as he allowed himself to get caught playing an in-between hop.

How about Rowand's great play to get the second out in the 9th? Doing what he does best, running into the wall.

Lincecum had a no-no into the 7th last night, also.

That young pitching is really carrying them this year.

Too bad he couldn't get the perfect game, San Fran has never had one.

Unfortunate it would come on an error, something that was out of his hands.

Too bad about the perfect game but a no hitter is a pretty good consolation prize. I just picked him up on my fantasy team. I dont expect this every night obviously. However if he does half this, it's better than my current rotation.

He's 3-8 with a 4.69 ERA, and that's AFTER his CG No-Hitter. It's always cool when a "journeyman" type pitcher comes from nowhere and tosses a gem - Len Barker's perfect game comes to mind (losing career record).

I still think one of the coolest sports trivia questions is: What (relatively recent) MLB player was on the winning side in three perfect games?

Did anyone else think that the last called third strike was way too outside?

Seeing it this morning, I thought it was high, not outside - it looked like it caught the plate.
