Interesting he didn't throw any no hitters when he was a dominant pitcher, and now he has two when he;s a mediocre pitcher. The way sports writers talk about him you'd think he's terrible.

i was at the gym in Fayetteville, NC this afternoon while this was happening... i was watching The World Cup, and they kept breaking away to the Giants game... it took me a while to figure out what was going on... being that this is NC, i was surprised they kept showing Tim... :)
go GIANTS!

I watched game 5 of the 1984 world series the other night. (speaking of the Padres)

Nolan Ryan holds the all-time record with seven. Still an incredible feat.

Great job, Timmy. But a team shouldn't have to also depend on their starters to provide their own run support, too.
SF needs a new batting instructor.

Lincecum is a great pitcher. I wish he would through a no hitter against a better team than the Padres.

This is what I love about being self-employed. CSN Bay Area on was today in the office and nothing happened in the last three innings.
Timmy was awesome today. Two hits, loose and smiling. And a gladiator helmet in the clubhouse when it was all done.
Oh yeah.
Lucky fans today. You never know when a no-hitter’s going to happen. I was fortunate to see Nolan Ryan’s 7th (?) no-hitter against the A’s. Special game.

Johnny Vander Meer had back to back no-hitters in 1938.

Congrats Tim, again. So that’s how many ohter active pitcher’s with more than 1 no hitter. Buehrle, Verlander, Homer Bailey, I guess that’s it. Halladay is retired.
Poor Padres, this is the 9th time they’re been no hit, still don’t have one of their own.

Lincecum did a great job today, but I don’t think he appreciated the cold water celebration.
I thought David Price did a great job with Tampa Bay. All in all it was a good day for baseball.

The Padres make me wish they had relegation in North American professional sports. They really aren’t a major league team anymore, and the franchise should be booted down to the minor leagues.

Meanwhile the Padres are the only Major League team who’ve never had a no hitter thrown by one of their pitchers.
