No! Noooo!

Well, so much for my theory. I guess LeBron really is that stupid and the Heat fans may be facing years of disappointment from "the King."

I randomly watched a good chunk of Brandon Morrow's insane one-hitter yesterday because the Cardinals game was in a rain delay and then was eventually postponed.

When I put the Jays/Rays game on, I commented to Bryan: "Let's watch a few homeruns while the Cards' game is delayed," because that's what the Blue Jays usually do: hit homeruns. They are first in MLB with 175 dingers this season (almost 20% more than #2 Boston) and hit 8 homers just two days ago.

In other words, I wasn't exactly expecting a pitchers' duel.

But, I was kind of hoping for one, since Brandon Morrow is on my fantasy team. I'd been holding onto Morrow most of the season – despite his mediocre 9-6 record and 4.45 ERA – because he's been hovering around the top 10 in Ks. And, as most of my readers know, strikeouts are very valuable in my fantasy league.

So, I was a little more interested than I ordinarily would be in a no-hit bid, especially since it seems like there's a new one every week this year. This particular one had some potential fantasy significance, though.

But here's the thing, even if Morrow had completed the no-no (worth 75 F-points), I still would have lost to the Buckster, who was on a 5-game losing streak going into our matchup. Even if Morrow had thrown a perfect game (worth an additional 100 F-points), I still would have lost by 24 points.

It's demoralizing, really. To be honest, I'm actually glad he lost the no hitter because it would have been seriously embarrassing to lose a fantasy matchup in which one of my pitchers was worth 292 points in one day.
