Buchholz's no-hitter

While we were at the US Open, something exceptional was happening in Boston: a rookie pitcher was throwing a no-hitter. What's more impressive is that the kid, only 23, was playing his second game in the big leagues. This is as if this kid from the lower teams comes up to the big club and in his second game, he scores four goals. Kind of like what Messi did at Barça two years ago :) [Sorry for the soccer analogy, but it's the only way for the Spanish people to understand how important a no-hitter is].

The great thing was, I could follow the baseball game inning by inning from the US Open stands thanks to my new shiny iPhone :)
