    Almost Perfect

    Sunday, September 9, 2007, 12:34 AM EST [Oakland Athletics]

    The last time two major league pitchers threw a no-hitter on the same day was June 29, 1990 when Dave Stewart of the Oakland Athletics and Fernando Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Dodgers both went into the record books.  As one may have noticed we almost had the same thing happen yesterday with Tom Glavine of the New York Mets and David Wells of the Los Angeles Dodgers tossing perfecto's through five innings.

    In fact a lof of that has been going around lately, with the Atlanta Braves John Smoltz nearly blanking the Washington Nationals on Friday night, Roger Clemens and Chien-Ming Wang of the New York Yankees shutting down the Boston Red Sox for five innings a piece only to see Red Sox rookie Clay Bucholz catch no hit fever of his own, finishing the job against the Baltimore Orioles last Saturday night at Fenway Park. 

    Both Glavine and Wells went seven strong, striking out four along the way while each leading their respective club to victory on Saturday afternoon.   

    (Perfect they're not)
