The No-No Thread - Talksox

One Red Seat · 05-17-2006, 11:30 PM

Everyone loves the possibility of the no-hitter/perfect game. As I skim through the box scores on gameday each night, I'm always interested when I see a pitcher has yet to give up a hit through 3+ innings. I think we should have a catch-all thread dedicated to games where a no-no could be thrown.

For those of you interested, the Blue Jays' Casey Janssen is perfect through 5 against the Angels tonight.

Nice. If I see a pitcher has a no-hitter or perfect game going, I always try to follow the game on ESPN's gamecast -- much like I do for all Red Sox games.

Got McPherson to start the 6th, but then Quinlann singled. On to tomorrow.

Let's just rename this the "jinx thread".

Where's Nomo when you need him?

Heheh, it appears to have done that.

I cheer for the no-hitter (unless it's for the Yankees), so that wasn't the intent here. Besides, isn't the jinx when you mention it to the pitcher? Unless they are online in the dugout between innings, I doubt they are reading this.

Jeff Francis has yet to give up a hit to the Jays through 5.

EDIT: He gives up a hit to start the 6th. This thread sucks. ABORT! ABORT! ABORT!

My exact thoughts when I read the original post.

When was the last no-hitter? Was there one last season?

If not, my guess for the last no-no is RJ's PG.

ARod2212 · 05-21-2006, 02:28 AM

I believe it was the PG by Randy, I don't recall any no hitters last year.

Burnett did have 9 BB and 7 K's

Bud Smith has only pitched in 27 MLB games in his career all with the cardinals. He was 7-8 with an era of 4.95 with the Cardinals and is now in the Twins minor leagues.
