Congrats to Chris Heston

Congrats to Heston, the first Giants rookie to pitch a no no since Christy Mathewson.

I'm up in Alaska for work, was out of phone coverage much of the day, and amazingly had no idea it had happened when I watched the game on my computer earlier tonight. Amazing! I didn't get to see a Giants no hitter for the first 30+ years of my life, but have no seen 5 in the past 5+ years, including Cain's perfect game in person.

Will be interesting to see how the rotation plays out. Both Heston and Vogey have been pretty strong, though I think Vogey gets bumped first. Peavy is rehabbing now too, but wouldn't prefer him over anyone in this rotation (or Cain).

Actually, the last Giants Rookie to throw a no-hitter was Jeff Tesreau vs. Phillies on September 6, 1912 - Matty's was on July 15, 1901.

I'll take it up with Kruk and Kuip, misinforming their loyal fan base.

What an incredible way to start a career, and probably in what would have been the tail end of his dwindling window at the ML rotation. Cain is re-habbing in Richmond, and Peavy is apparently close to coming back. Can't imagine bumping Heston, but if both guys come back healthy, he's odd man out. Think eventually it's Peavy that can't hold the job and Heston keeps his.

'if both guys come back healthy' haha we both know neither one of them will be healthy for long...plus theres something wrong with vogelsong...if you pitch well they will find a spot for you...never can have too many pitchers

Heston to Vogelsong . . . from the sublime to the ridiculous.
