No posts regarding Homer Bailey's no-hitter and near perfect game?
Where are the Reds' fans? Where are the Giants' haters?
Homer Bailey threw his second in 10 months and the first in the majors this season, pitching the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
Bailey became the third Reds pitcher with more than one no-hitter, joining Jim Maloney and Johnny Vander Meer, who is still the only big leaguer to toss two in a row. Bailey beat the Pirates, 1-0, in Pittsburgh last Sept. 28 and got another 17 starts later.
‘‘Every dog has its day twice, I guess,’’ Bailey said. ‘‘It felt good to do it in front of the Cincinnati fans.’’
The last pitcher to throw one no-hitter and then another before anyone else in the majors accomplished the feat was Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, according to STATS. Baseball’s career strikeout king did it for the California Angels on Sept. 28, 1974, against Minnesota, and June 1, 1975, vs. Baltimore.

first you call Bartolo Colon a juicer, now you're gloating over the Giants' EPIC FAIL du jour.
Planning a move, perhaps? Maybe down I-5? 
My Colon reference was a joke. I can't believe he'd go back on the juice after last year. Juice isn't going to help you locate your pitches, by the way.
Well, the champs are playing like chumps. They've redefined torture. But I'm not moving. Fuck the Dodgers.
Together we're Giant.
