You know, Yu's perfect game would not have meant much.

Ogando had 10 strikeouts today in 6 innings. The Lastros were shut out again. And they suffered 43 strikeouts in these first three games. It's like taking candy from a baby.

Against the Astros. Shit, even the Pirates could get 108 wins against the Astros. madinmaryland Apr 2013 #3

Have you any idea how difficult it is to pitch a perfect game? Auggie Apr 2013 #4

Actually it is much harder to lose a perfect game on the last batter. El Supremo Apr 2013 #5

That would extrapolate to a 108 wins season!

If it wasn't, we'd see them all the time against weak teams.

a perfect game vs. the Astros would not have diminished Darvish's feat one bit.
