I haven’t seen it, and likely won’t, but it is possible. Pitcher A throws a 9 inning perfect game, but his team doesn’t score. A goes out for the tenth, with the ridiculous “imaginary runner” on second. The runner is sacrificed to third and scores on a sac fly. A then retires the next guy, but his team again fails to score and they lose. Result-Pitcher A faced 30 batters, retired all 30, and lost 1-0.

I know this is extremely unlikely, especially in today’s “yank ‘em after five” world, but the mere possibility of it just reinforces the ridiculous nature of the extre innings rule in my mind.
