[Destined]

ESPN keeps playing up the fact that he sucked. Wtf? He was never overlooked. We all knew how good this dude was, regardless of his struggles.

[Giff]

The only guy that reached was on an error? Juan Uribe should buy Sanchez a steak dinner every night for the next month.

I know a perfect game means retiring every hitter. But I think it should be no hits no walks, regardless.

Um, a perfect game can't have walks either. It's 27 up, 27 down. No one reaches base for any reason.

I think he's saying a perfect game should be any game in which a pitcher doesn't let anybody on with a walk or hit (i.e. should the pitcher be punished for an error by a position player?).

The Cubs have scored the least no of runs in the NL with 346. I find it amazing that we are still in the race.
