WOW!

Five days after hearing the possibility of losing his roster spot Francisco Liriano goes out and throws a no hitter tonight against the Chicago White Sox. Liriano has been nothing but wild this season, despite an amazing rebound campaign last year. Liriano had TJ surgery in 2008 and returned to a full time starting gig in 2010. He was fantastic last year, despite some bad luck and a bad defense behind him. Analysts (as well as myself) had high hopes for him, but he's looked abysmal so far this season; going into tonight he had a 9.13 ERA, 1.90 WHIP, 18 Ks to 18 BBs and 27 hits, while averaging less than 5 innings per start. Maybe he finally found the motivation he needed. However, it should be noted he gave up 6 walks, had only 2 Ks, and threw 123 pitches. None the less congrats Liriano for being the first no-no of the 2011 season.
