No hitter! in MLB

Omg i just watched a perfect game my Mark Buehrle.

i also watched the no hitter this year.

The first out of the 9th is one of the best plays i have seen all year or ever

Wise saved that no-no for him. The clutchest catch I've ever seen.

Yeah, I just got to my hotel in Akron, OH and saw it all over ESPN News.

He was giving his press conference and somebody from the White Sox came in and said to the media "OK Guys, last question - we got a call from the White House and the President wants to talk to Mark."

LOL!

Awesome! I love seeing total team performances like this...the pitcher pitched a no-hitter/no-walker - his defense gave him a perfect game - impressive!

definitely saved by the defense, but unless your Chien-Ming Wang and giving up HR every time, what pitcher isn't?

It's easy as shit to pitch a no-hitter.

Just walk every player that comes to the plate.

Now, pitching a perfect game (which Buehrle did) is hard as shit.

Joke correct? because to get an offical no-hitter you need to pitch the whole game

but yes pitching a perfect game is hard as shit

I thought the comment made by a reporter, "you buying him a steak dinner for making that catch?" was hilarious.

There's a difference in no-hitters and perfect games.

A no-hitter (also known as a no-hit game, or colloquially, a "no-no") is a baseball game in which one of the teams prevents the other from getting a hit. A pitcher who prevents the opposing team from achieving a hit is said to have "thrown a no-hitter". Throwing a no-hitter is rare and considered an extraordinary accomplishment for a pitcher or pitching staff. In most cases in the professional game, no-hitters are accomplished by a single pitcher who throws a complete game.

Because it is possible to reach base without a hit (most commonly via walk or error), the term no-hitter does not imply that the opposing team had no baserunners. Thus, although it is extremely uncommon, it is possible for a pitcher to throw a no-hitter and yet lose the game. The case of a no-hitter in which the other team has not reached base at all is called a perfect game, which is a victory, a shutout, and a no-hitter. In a perfect game, a pitcher or combination of pitchers on the same team will have retired all batters faced during the game.

Why is that funny? people do that all time. I know when Randy Johnson got his perfect game and there was a great play in that game i cant remember by who but he bought them a ring.

People do that all the time in sports. Kobe bought his whole team gold watched for getting to the Championship.

Peyton Manning buys people on the defense drinks and dinners all the time since they cant hit him in practice and its unfair so he pays them back buy taking them out and buying them things.
