There have been 223 no-hitters in Major League Baseball since the modern era of baseball began in 1900. Pitchers for the Philiies have thrown 9 no-hitters.
Kevin Millwood was the last Phillies pitcher to do it. The Fightn's have been no-hit17 times the last by
Bob Forsch of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1978. Only 2 have ever been thrown in Interleague play.
The Mets have never had a single no-hitter in their favor.
Saturday night Pics of Me in Front of Stuff was in Citizens Bank Ballpark as Daisuke Matsuzaka of the Boston Red Sox tried to add one more to those lists.
That's right, Eat a Dick chronological order. Pics of Me in Front of Stuff will post stuff that happened in April whenever Pics of Me in Front of Stuff wants to. That includes Opening Day.
Anyway, this guy threw seven and two-thirds of no-hit baseball versus one of the best lineups in baseball.
The picture was taken with the Official Cell Phone of Pics of Me in Front of Stuff hence the poor quality. That really is Dice-K on the mound out there. Then Juan Castro went and ruined it. It was a bittersweet hit because there are approximately two no-hitters on average in a give baseball season. With 30 teams each playing 162 regular season games that means less than a tenth of a percent of the games are no-hitters in a given season. Despite it being the Phils getting no-hit, Pics of Me in Front of Stuff could say it was present for a no-hitter. That would have counted for something. Instead it was just a 5-0 loss at the hands of the Red Sox. Bummer.
Following the game there was the usual drunken debauchery and the first
Bear Fight of the season at
PJ Whelihan's. Thanks to the Bear Fight the night's festivities are a little hazy. There is also a new entry in the contacts of Official Cell Phone of Pics of Me in Front of Stuff thanks to Fensty: Amanda0Hug0and0Kiss, Maybe more on that some other time.
Despite the harsh glare, it is usually not a bad thing that Fensty is watching.
