The Philadelphia Phillies put together a strong opening to their postseason; they scored four runs in the first two innings against a young Cincinnati Reds team. Oh yeah, and their ace Roy Halladay threw the second no-hitter in playoff history. It was Halladay’s first start in any playoff series.
“It’s surreal, it really is,” Halladay said. “I just wanted to pitch here, to pitch in the postseason. To go out and have a game like that, it’s a dream come true.”
Don Larsen is the only other pitcher to throw a postseason no-hitter. He tossed a perfect game for the New York Yankees in the 1956 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers. The 54th anniversary of Larsen’s gem is this Friday. –Y! Sports.
More baseball: The Yankees came back to beat the Twins and somehow the Rangers got past the Rays for 1-0 leads in those respective series, the latter of which I find surprising. But one would be foolish to overlook a team whose manager says he only did cocaine once and somehow got everyone to believe him. The layers of magic involved in that are almost unquantifiable.

You were surprised that Cliff Lee won? I’m more surprised that the Reds haven’t just forfeited the rest of the series.
He’s more unhittable than Rihanna during a second chance date
He’s more unhittable than Oksana Grigorieva with a tape recorder glued to her temple
He’s more unhittable than Tina Turner after “What’s Love Got to do with It?”
Surprised Lee won yesterday? Punte, I take it you didn’t watch last years World Series.
Also, last year in my fantasy baseball league there was a team named “Halladay in Cambodia”, I thought it was awesome.
I laugh like Ganon prior to all my fights

Sorry about those 6 INTs in the Super Bowl, my WR’s were older than Unlce Leo and less mobile than Terri Schiavo on a segway…
I’m more accurate than you Rich
He’s more unhittable than a kid crossing the street in front of Rebecca Gayheart.
That no hitter in the playoffs should have been with YOU, Toronto Blue Jays!
*runs and cries and questions why he even likes the Jays or baseball*
All surprised people that the Rangers beat the heck out of the TB Rays have been reported to me and will be found and their sorry asses will spend several night behind cyber bars.
end of conversation
He’s more unhittable than a fat chick with that clap.
