    I think it’s because cycles are more of a novelty than skill compared to no-hitters.

    Sure, there are plenty of no-hitters where a guy has a ton of luck and no business getting a no-hitter but I still feel like that’s an accomplishment that based less on randomness than a cycle.  Or maybe it’s because a guy has to perform every half inning / ~27-30 times in a No-hitter vs once every 2-3 innings / 4-5 times.

    Sure there is usually at least one freak play to keep a No-hitter alive, but when you have to get 27 outs, I’m more likely to let that slide compared to a cycle when 1 lucky bounce helps you get 25% of the way towards the accomplishment. (Like Altuve’s triple. If the Boston center fielder doesn’t look like a complete rookie/first time ever playing out there and realizes he can’t catch the ball hit to left center and gets ready for the carom, he holds him to a double instead of chasing the ball back towards right field looking like a kid trying to grab a dollar tied to a string 

     

    Altuve also wasnt running hard out of the box and it was still an easy triple.

    He fell off the cliff like a used up RB in the NFL.

    But he had one final decent start against the Dodgers last week that fucked up my 4 game parlay that would have paid $1024

     

    Fuck that guy

    Ah yes, my old hood.  My parents who are a little further west told me they got nailed.   One of my cowokers lost power when her neighbor's tree was struck by lightning and fell on the power lines.  

    That's what I heard

    They weren’t just “happy”. They had a full on spraying champagne and beer celebration, plastic over the lockers and goggles and everything. Never in my life heard of a team doing that for a regular season win with no playoff implications. Bush league as fuck.

    If it makes you feel any better the Astros are kicking their asses around this week.  Does that make you feel better?

    One of the main reasons she has hardly ever made an appearance on this page, is she owns up to her shit. She actually apologized and said she never realized she was worse about it than I am.  She will even admit when I'm right, and she is wrong, a true unicorn.

    Get that shit right up on out of here, if you please...

    Plus the bullpen. At least now we're sometimes getting far enough ahead that calling on Montero isn't always fatal. 

    Before last night Montero had a 1.83 ERA since July 1.

    Before July 1?  Well it was real real bad.

    You realize cream of mushroom soup contains fungus, right? Mushrooms. I use cream of chicken. I don’t do the mushroom. Looks great.

    Ok so you refuse to eat mushrooms because of their classification as fungi?
