My wife had to get up early for work the next morning so she went to bed after the third inning. I told her if she did not mind, I was going to watch the game, Matt had not given up a runner yet, and I told her this is the best stuff I have seen him have all year including his one hitter. All his pitches were working, and everytime he went to a 3-2 count, he made a perfect pitch. When Blanco made that catch, in real time, it seemed even more amazing than the replays have to offer. I'm sure Cain would like Krukow to be on assignment again during his next start. Great game. Even though the giants had pitched several no hitters, up until last night I thought the best game I had seen by a giants pitcher was Juan Marichal's 16 inning shutout.nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-68982535498434649942012-06-14T12:04:00.112-07:002012-06-14T12:04:00.112-07:00I still have a hard time believing that it happene...I still have a hard time believing that it happened. <br /><br />Just wow.<br /><br />I definitely need to get mlb.tv as soon as possible.<br /><br />Go Giants!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-88390389449225373182012-06-14T11:02:05.545-07:002012-06-14T11:02:05.545-07:00I kept thinking that the long waits between inning...I kept thinking that the long waits between innings (due to the Giants clogging up the basepaths) would give Matty some trouble.

Matt Cain cannot be Raised any higher.<br />So, Cain is a the drummer (MadBum is clearly the bass player) or alternately he's the tough outer casing on a pepperoni stick. Some say he's a horse.<br />I could have been present at that game. I was in the City with Maggie for the matinee of "American Idiot." Great show. Green Day, y'know. At one point I thought,"Hey maybe we could also go to the game after." <br />But I didn't and I'm glad I ended up watching it with my bro et al. <br />What can be said? Did anyone else have the feeling that he was PROBABLY going to do it? I didn't see the first couple of innings, but all the euphoria was directected at our early offense. Sure Cain had set down all nine Astros in order, but that's not unusual. But he was striking guys out more than usual. Then more runs and basically I stopped watching the game for a while. Now that I think about it, I wasn't watching when any of the homers were hit.Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-17062390163213203722012-06-14T09:55:52.393-07:002012-06-14T09:55:52.393-07:00Well now, you merry few at RMC, your babies all gr...Well now, you merry few at RMC, your babies all growns up now, as if you didn't already know that.<br /><br />All 27 outs:<br />http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=22272193&c_id=mlb<br /><br />Tennessee Stud.

What a performance. A perfect game, or any no-hitter for that matter, is sort of a statistical oddity. Some great pitchers have never thown no hitters, some with pretty forgettable careers have. Matt Cain will not have a forgettable career. A wise man once wrote on this blog: Tim = no hitter, Matt = Hall of Fame. Well, I guess Hall of Fame does not preclude a no hitter. I hope all those people who said, "trade Matt Cain while his value is high" are feeling approriately foolish - his value only went up. All Star start?
