Congrats to The Freak on his second career no-hitter, both against the Padres (which should probably require an asterisk, but what the heck).  In MLB history, who is the only other pitcher with two career no-hitters, both of them against the same team?

the one, the only...Addie Joss

Yes, least-favorite player of so many Sim players, the incomparable Addie Joss!

who's Addie Joss? 

He's the Tim Lincecum of the early 20th century. 

Too bad Joss died young.  Who knows what his career numbers might have been.

Aug 4th 2014 Mets Giants day game (get away day) Starts at 12:15,  will it be Linceum's 3rd no hitter????

No, he only no-hits the Madres.

Nah, Joss would have hung 'em up like Koufax to go spend time at the beach (or whatever the heck Koufax does with his time - has anyone ever heard from him again?)

The Mets offense will be just as bad during the dog days of August

BTW, I just had a perfect game by Joss...however, it turned out not to be perfect. Closer inspection of the box score showed that Gary Carter reached on a fielding error in the 6th inning.  I don't look closely at the game summary or box scores, in fact I often only look at box scores if there was a shutout just to see if a pitcher threw a no-hitter, so I missed the error until teamhydro brought it to my attention.  With all this said, I do look at the player of the game and Joss was cited as the player of the game...Addie Joss throws a perfect game.  Thought it was kind of interesting.  Not sure how often errors like this occur in Sim.

This is a glitch in WIS's algorithm.  I've seen it at least 3 times.  If a pitcher throws a no-hitter, with no walks or HBP, but a player reaches on an error and is then erased through a CS or DP, such that the total number of batters faced = 27, WIS thinks it's a perfect game.

That's not a glitch. That's artificial lack-of-intelligence. A (LO) I for short.
