Wow very impressive. I posted a thread can a mod erase mine. This belongs to Giants fans."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack

I agree it's gotta be right up there with the Koufax perfect game if not better. I was just watching the play by plays on the internet so I wasnt positive about it. Glad you posted so I knew for sure.Originally posted by 9RoyHobbsRF View Post
Even though I didnt witness it I still followed it pretty close and i'm gonna say I witnessed two and a half perfect games. 1. Buerhle 2. Humber and 2.5 Cain since I didnt watch it live."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball.

a day before the US Open in SF and Cain went out and hit a drive or two today according to Bochy1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

Bochy also said they had someone secretly warming up underground out of site in case he walked someone or gave up a hit as the pitch count was getting up there1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

He helped me out big time in my fantasy league, especially since Hamels and Axford both had another off night."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack

Any Giants fan will tell you that it was only a matter of time before Cain through a no-hitter. But this was beyond what we expected. It truly was a "PERFECT" game. And it happened to one of the best people in MLB.“Well, I like to say I’m completely focused, right? I mean, the game’s on the line. It’s not like I’m thinking about what does barbecue Pop Chips and Cholula taste like. Because I already know that answer — it tastes friggin’ awesome!"--Brian WilsonComment

Cain now has 96 K's vs 16 BB1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)
