Has anyone had a better day than Greinke did on this day?
6 hit SO
13K's
2-4 with 2 HR and 6 RBI! CRAZY!

i'm sure grienke has pitched a no-no in my leagues before, sure.

even crappy pitchers will get one eventually if given enough opportunities... which usually doesn't happen due to aging, of course

even the great pitchrs are lucky to get one, though... jsut more common

i guess i didn't account for the offense... i don't attributre special things to random coincidence though... like many do...

e.g. i have no affinity to the "cycle" i think it's a stupid thing to even value... many combinations of 4 hits are a greater influence on winnning than the cycle, yet someone will argue that a HR, a 3b and two 2b is not as special?? what?

same with .399 and .400 ... so arbitrary to draw a line in the sand at .400. as if 1 less hit in 1000ab is a difference to 1 season. (any demarcation line like that, which is falsley attributed some sort of smoke screen that means somethign to some people

)
