That was the greatest-pitched game I’ve ever seen, or ever will see. Roy was completely dominant.
This will probably betray my age, but Sandy Koufax's 1965 perfect game---for his 22nd win of the season, and down the stretch of a hammer-and-tongs pennant race against the Giants--- was better, including his striking out the final six he faced and (I don't know if you'll ever see this again, in either of our lifetimes) the entire game featuring only one hit . . . and a hit that didn't factor in the game's only run. (The only run scored on a walk, a steal, a sacrifice, and a throwing error, in an inning other than the one in which the only hit, by Dodger outfielder Lou Johnson, left him stranded otherwise.)

Wasn't around for that one, but I've seen a few in my 32 years (sadly, never one in person though). The one most fresh in my mind is Halladay's perfect game earlier this year, and I thought his stuff was far better tonight.
