And he DOES IT! Anibal Sanchez hurls the Majors first No-Hitter since Randy Johnson for the Diamondbacks May 18, 2004!

Madsen was one strike away from getting out of a bases loaded jam, but Berkman's base-clearing double gives Houston a 5-2 lead.

Harry Kalas sounds incredibly depressed.

Randy Johnson bidding to be second (maybe?) ever to hurl a no hitter for three different teams

KC's pitcher Ryan Braun must be a just called up this day cause he doesn't have an MLB.com photo!

7th inning now

Uh, never mind, Rollins out trying to stretch it into a double, and Victorino made out, Astros win!

Is it my imagination or did the last runner beat the throw to first?
Funny how we never saw a replay.

Sanchez, acquired by the Marlins in the Beckett/Lowell trade. In other words, Boston's streak of rotten luck this season continues.

I'll hazard a guess that that's the first time Randy Johnson's ever picked a guy at third.

Actually, I think it was Posada who caught him straying too far off the base .... although where d'hell he was planning on going I have no idea.

Posada, btw, is having a much improved year both offensively AND defensively this season (bucking those predictions for mid-30s catchers) but I'll repeat what I've said a number of times this year; that Yanqui opponents seem to be in a contest with each other to see how many outs they can make on the bases. It's not just the caught stealings - though there have been a number of those - but the stupid shit like DeJesus (a Rutgers man) getting picked off 3rd while trailing by 5 at the time and other inexplicable stuff that I see virtually every time I turn on a MFY game.

Well, that explains it.

I was astounded that Jeff Keppinger, long lauded as an "OBP" guy went up there in the ninth and swung at the first pitch. (He made an out)

Yes, I watched part of a Yankee game.
Forgive me.
I feel dirty, but I actually wanted to see Kepp play.

Any good OBPs that Keppinger put up were mostly due to a decent singles-oriented BA, he never really walked much.
There was a segment of Met fans that went overboard on both him and Andy Hernandez over the winter - "Wow, we're just stacked at 2nd base!!!" - by allowing themselves to be fooled by the fact that last year both had good, though rather empty, BAs with few walks and little power.
