Colorado Rockies No Hitter (Ubaldo Jimenez)

I love baseball. Ubaldo Jimenez threw a no-hitter in 128 pitches last night for the Colorado Rockies. 72 pitches were strikes and his fastball was consistently in the upper 90s throughout the game. He also hit a single in the 4th which drove in a run. Then one of the batters after him drove him in so he scored a run. There should be a stat that praises the position players who support the pitcher. If there was just one dropped ball or one throwing error the no-hitter would have been ruined. Those guys (pitcher and in/outfield players) have so much pressure put on them its a wonder they can go out there every inning knowing that they are not only working towards a win, which is hard enough in and of itself, but also towards the prestigious no-hitter. The Rockies have only been a franchise for 18 years and this was the first time in their history that a no-hitter has been thrown. I could watch baseball all day long. What a great sport! I just wish the Red Sox could get on track and start winning some more games. They have a really tough beginning to their season and in some ways its better to get as many of those games out of the way earlier rather than later. I would much rather hear that we are having a "slow start" than to see that we're in a slump. I can't wait to see how the season pans out. Johnathan Papelbon just had his second baby so he is going to miss a couple games when we really need him. We lost 2 in a row to Tampa Bay and right now we're losing again.....like 6-0 last time I looked.
