What annoys me the most, is that if the Yankess could have split the 8 games with the sox, we would be 6 games ahead in first instead of 2.
It's the race to see who DOESN'T have to play the Angels.

It's the race to see who DOESN'T have to play the Angels. I've no problem with the Sox finishing second and playing the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in California". YEAR OPPONENT PLAYOFF Result 2008 Los Angeles Angels ALDS 3-1 2007 Los Angeles Angels ALDS 3-0 2004 Anaheim Angels ALDS 3-0 Congratulations to Mark Buehrle of the Obama Sox on his "Perfect Game". 27 Up & 27 Down(Unfortunately commentary on the above comes from one of the worst commentators in any sport "Hawk" Harrelson. Truly cringeworthy)

Genuine question.
On SSN this morning they showed a pitcher who had managed a no-hitter. I know what this is, no batter got even to first base, right?
So, given that apparently Obama was impressed enough to phone the bloke, how rare is a no-hitter? And for those of you who also know cricket, is it rarer than a hat-trick for a bowler?

it wasn't a no hitter, it was an actual Perfect Game.
A no hitter is very rare, but a perfect game is like near impossible.
There have actually only been 18 perfect games in baseball history.
To sum it up, it is a no hitter, where NO ONE touches base. That means no one walks or gets hit with a pitch either.
When a perfect game is going on, in the 9th inning, every baseball fan stops what they are doing and tunes in. (it just sucks that it was a day game)

got this from a random website.
"On occasion sportsbooks list futures odds on prospective individual achievements but handicapping no-hitters is not one of them. The odds would be in the millions as no-hitters only coming along every few thousand games or so. "
Keep in mind, this is even MORE rare, because it wasn't a no hitter, it was an actual perfect game.

I assume that's a typo and you meant to say "perfect game". "No-hitters" can have loads of people reach first base via walks (Nolan Ryan's no-hitters are prime examples) or errors. Given the circumstances that was some catch by Dewayne Wise in the 9th For those that are interested in seeing the game, it'll be shown on ESPN America (Sky 417) at noon today at at 2pm tomorrow.

Cheers folks, so it was pretty special then.
Has there ever been a game when both pitchers have pitched no-hitters? Or even come close?

What I was trying to say is that it is a no hitter (so think of what makes up a no hitter, then add to that), NO ONE touches base. So, it is a No Hitter, EXCEPT that no one touches base. (maybe that is more clear).

OK, I see what you were trying to get at now Have you ever been at a No-No ? The closest I've come was a one-hitter by Pedro I think ?

no, never been. In fact, I have only watched one entire no hitter in my life.
I missed half of the David Wells no hitter in 1998, was in college in Philadelphia (pre-YES network) and didn't see Cone in 1999, Was out for the day of the Gooden in 1996.
The only complete no hitter I have ever watched, from the first to last pitch, was Jim Abbott in 1993.
Which was amazing, because as you remember, but I doubt many other people would is that Abbott had only one arm.
ONE ARM!
