Cain Throws Perfecto

[oldjudge]

For those people who prefer great feats by non-steroid associated athletes, Matt Cain threw a perfect game tonight. Unfortunately, it may not be counted because it was against the AA caliber Astros.

... I don't care who it was against, sheer dominance.. 14K's, no hits, no walks. This was no fluke, given the guy has pitched 9 inning, 1 and 2 hit games already this year, and 2-3 complete game 1 hit shutouts prior to this year. Anyone who's been watching close knows this has been waiting to happen for a while. Most underrated pitcher in the game!

LOL, I thought the same thing!

All kidding aside, Cain is having a fabulous year and is definitely in contention for the NL Cy Young if he keeps it up.

Too bad the Yanks won't get a shot at him this offseason, heh

He had the giddy up fast ball going full force tonite!

Yet another perfect game or no hitter. Whatever happened to these being rare?

We're in the middle of June and there's already two perfect games and two no-hitters. And the Mets are protesting the only hit that R.A. Dickey gave up last night. If upheld (unlikely) that's the second Mets no-no in two weeks.

No real explanation why there have been so many perfect games lately.
