Roy Halladay already proved his worth this season when he pitched a Perfect Game back in May against the Marlins. A truly historic day for him and POSSIBLY his best performance. I say possibly because he may have outdone himself earlier today. Roy Halladay, who was making his career postseason debut, made history as he pitched only the second No Hitter in postseason history as the Phillies defeated the Reds, 4-0. The other person who pitched a postseason No Hitter was Don Larsen who pitched a Perfect Game for the Yankees back in the 1956 World Series. Halladay had 8 K's and one walk in his second No Hitter of his career and season.
Maybe not as impressive statistically as a Perfect Game, but this No Hitter has to have been done under more pressure to win than any regular season game. It might be unfair to call it an equal feat but maybe a distinctive one.
P.S. Texas Beat the Rays, 5-1, and the Yankees beat the Twins, 6-4 (damn it). Giants and Braves play their first game tomorrow.
P.P.S. Randy Moss is now a Viking. Hope this doesn't bite New England in the a** in Week 8.
