looked like it was a great game and a pretty sweet catch at the wall to save the no hitter.

Came into tonight at 2-8 with a 5.30 ERA... and one error away from a perfect game.

Worst pitcher ever to throw a no-hitter? At least in the discussion?

i'd like to see some stats before i declare worst pitcher ever to throw a no no. i'm sure somebody at ESPN is on the case.

Bud Smith disagrees with you. 9/3/01 for the Cards.

So Sanchez is or isn't "in the mix"?

Poor Bud, if only he could see I was just asking a question.

The Cardinals have another recent guy "in the mix" as well.

Jose Jimenez tossed one against Arizona on 6/25/99. He went 5-14 that year with a 5.85 ERA, and in his pro career, which apparently ended in 2004 with Cleveland, he was just 24-44 with a 4.92 ERA.

I'm also gonna go ahead and nominate A.J. Burnett's no hitter on 5/12/01 as the worst of all time. Nine walks?!

The craziest no no's would have to be Johnny Vander Meer's back-to-back no no's. He also had a sub .500 record in his major league career.

Velocity, movement. Good stuff and control don't go hand in hand necessarily.

$1.34

I can make a ball move. The fact that I can't hit anywhere near the strike zone is why the junk I throw isn't "good stuff".

Jose Jiminez is probably in that discussion.
