Before Wednesday, I'd covered 11 no-hitters, from Jim Bunning to Sandy Koufax to Nolan Ryan. Ironically, one of the 11 was the last time the Reds were no-hit -- by the Phillies' Rick Wise on June 23, 1971.
Wednesday's at delirious Citizens Bank Park was by far the best and most important I've seen as a reporter. I was in college when Larsen threw his perfect game against the Dodgers and watched on a snowy TV set.
Letting Roy Halladay loose against the National League this year was like locking a hungry wolf inside a garage full of kittens.
We couldn't have seen this coming, quite.
But we should have seen something like it.

Can someone tell me what Ryan Madson is doing in 14?
Wait, never mind, it's "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy" from South Pacific.

Nice of Halladay and his postseason no-hitter to provide an occasion to rip Amaro.
It's like these dorks are in love with their lab partner and Rube met her once and $#@! her.
