Roy “Doc” Halladay joins Don Larson as the second pitcher to ever throw a no-hitter in MLB postseason history. Halladay’s 104-pitch outing featured only one walk and eight strikeouts and a lot of intimidation. If you’re Cincinnati how the hell do you come back from this?

Wow, A LOT Has Happened [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
I’m pretty sure that I haven’t mentioned anything about the NFL this year, which I find hilarious, considering that I use a modified football saying as my sports category. Now’s as good a time as any to talk about it, I guess, since the regular season is over. As far as the playoffs go, I’d […]
