I was exhausted last night, and went to bed early in last night’s West Coast game. So I missed all the drama about Phil Hughes pitching a no-hitter into the eighth inning. Call me selfish, but I’m kind of glad that Hughes didn’t pitch a no-hitter when I wasn’t watching!
What a wacky way to end a no-hitter, though, with the ball bouncing off Hughes himself like that, and him then not being able to find it. The pitcher said:
“To have it end that way is kind of a bummer. That’s the game,” Hughes said. “Yeah, frustrated. It’s so hard to do, to throw a no-hitter. You don’t get many opportunities to do it.”
If I had been up watching the game, I would have thrown something myself!
On the bright side, remember when Hughes’ bid for a no-hitter against the Rangers ended with an injury? This was much better than that nightmare of a night!
Anyhow, at least I’ll get to watch today’s game – it’s on at 3:35 p.m., and not this late-night stuff. Who knows – maybe CC will do something special!
If you watched last night’s game, tell us your thoughts!
