fake no hitter

the yankees failed to get a hit in tonight's game... it wasn't a no-hitter, though. I saw a no-hitter earlier this year. It didn't look like this.

(21:57:12) freemarko: you there?
(22:01:48) ryan c nelson: so totally lame
(22:01:58) freemarko: Torre's last game
(22:02:07) freemarko: billy martin takes over in the morning
(22:02:24) ryan c nelson: you don't get to use eight guys and call it a no hitter
(22:02:42) freemarko: yeah you do if the other team is so fucking lame they can't manage a hit
(22:02:44) ryan c nelson: the last pitcher of a real no hitter doesn't throw 100mph
(22:02:51) freemarko: good point
(22:03:24) ryan c nelson: to win a no hitter, the pitcher's gotta be digging deep in the 9th, not coming in, fresh from a 7th inning massage
(22:03:55) ryan c nelson: the headline should read "yankees stink it up, fail to hit"
