The Perfect, Perfect Game

The perfect game is the single greatest achievement that any pitcher can accomplish. It has only been done, I don't know, let's say 22 times. It probably would be really easy to look up, but I'm feeling really lazy right now. It's amazing that I'm writing anything at all. But let's get back on track: all of these 20 odd games are wonderful, and all of them happened in a slightly different manner. The question I have is this: what would be the theoretical PERFECT perfect game?

-27 strikeouts?

or

-27 pitches?

I initially leaned towards 27 strikeouts, because in order for the pitcher to only throw 27 pitches, he would need all the batters to swing at the first pitch every single time up. That would never happen. But then I thought of a third scenario: what if a pitcher was so good that he could throw the ball at (and hit) the bat (like in that one South Park episode, now that I think about it.) Then, catch the ball in the air to record the out. Then the pitcher would literally be doing all the work. He wouldn't even need the catcher!

Well, that's all I got. Man, this website is a waste of everybody's time.

Be Careful What I Wish For

Long time, no read! As warned, I've been finding it harder to write here with my new job and schedule. I now work during the evenings, and I actually have work to do most of the time instead of sitting in an office surfing the internet and pretending to work. Part of working the evening shift means that I now go to the gym in the morning. Devoted readers may recall that I complained not too long ago that the gym was populated by people who have already achieved the goal of going to the gym - being in shape. Well, let me tell you, the morning crowd is not like this. The people who go to the gym in the morning look like they actually need to be going to the gym.

And... I miss the beautiful people.

Sigh. I'll try to get something on here a little more regularly.
