Wow. Finally got myself in front of a computer.

Congrats to Matt Cain on the perfect game!

If anyone was going to do it, I'm glad it was him. Fresh off that $100 million deal, they money doesn't phase him. I'm proud to have Matt Cain on the Giants.

Just one thing, wish I was there to see it live. To those who were, cherish it forever.

Like what all the beat writers were tweeting, tonight felt like a playoff game.

Different strokes for different folks. I think Chelsea looks better, but that might just be me because I'm currently on a blonde snow bunny fascination

Good read on where Cain's perfect game ranks in history:

Matt Cain’s Place in History.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Matt Cain just threw the 22nd perfect game in baseball history, which is of course an amazing accomplishment. But, through the way he dominated on the way to his perfect game, Cain actually joined an even more exclusive club – guys who have posted a Game Score above 100 in a nine inning game.

Before tonight, only nine pitchers had ever racked up a game score of 100 or better in nine innings. It was more common back when starters kept going when a game went to extras, but we want to compare apples to apples, so those are out. Sorted by Game Score — an imperfect measure, for certain, but one that does okay for this purpose — here are the 10 best nine inning performances of all time.

Kerry Wood	5/6/98	CHC	HOU	9	1			20		105
Nolan Ryan	5/1/91	TEX	TOR	9			2	16		101
Sandy Koufax	9/9/65	LAD	CHC	9				14		101
Matt Cain	6/13/12	SF	HOU	9				14		101
Brandon Morrow	8/8/10	TOR	TBR	9	1		2	17		100
Randy Johnson	5/18/04	ARI	ATL	9				13		100
Curt Schilling	4/7/02	ARI	MIL	9	1		2	17		100
Nolan Ryan	7/15/73	CAL	DET	9			4	17		100
Nolan Ryan	7/9/72	CAL	BOS	9	1		1	16		100
Warren Spahn	9/16/60	MLN	PHI	9			2	15		100

In terms of raw performance, this matches Sandy Koufax’s perfect game from 1965 as the best perfecto ever, and matches one of Nolan’s Ryan no-hitters where he did most of the work himself. The only nine inning game in history with a higher game score was Kerry Wood’s 20 strikeout one-hitter. It’s pretty amazing that most of us were alive to see both.

Baseball!

Aubrey Huff bruised his knee when he jumped over the rail to celebrate. He may go on the DL. LOL SMH at this guy.
