The Baltimore Uh-O's


My hat's off to Clay Buchholz. The young fellah just threw a no-hitter for the Boston Red Sox. No-hitters are always pretty historic, and this was no exception. It was the 3rd no-hitter caught by Jason Varitek. No one has caught 3 since some guy for the Black Sox. It was also the first rookie no-hitter in Red Sox history. Even more incredible, it was Buchholz's 2nd big league start, EVER! nice work.

But it was the Orioles.

This is the same team that gave up 30 (THIRTY!!!!) runs to the rangers. whoops. That hasn't happened in a hundred plus years. You weren't gonna run into a lot of people that saw 30 runs scored by a major league team, until the other week. This is a 59-75 team. They aren't having the best run of it here. 30 runs, no hits. What's next? Cy-type dominator Eric Bedard misses time with a strained oblique? OH WAIT. that just happened. Sorry Baltimore.

Also sorry to Buccholz. Congrats on the no-no, but the Orioles had it coming I guess.
