Cant believe he was able to to get a no hitter. Great performance.

LOL, everybody's moved onto football, I guess. Great job by Roy, though.

Great game...fucking whiner Orlando Cabrerra-fuck him. Fuck Scott Rolen too!

Orlando Cabrera Complains About Strike Zone in Roy Halladay's No-Hitter


Most Reds players were gracious after falling victim to a bit of history in the form of Roy Halladay's no-hitter. Left fielder Jonny Gomes called his performance "amazing," while manager Dusty Baker called it "the best pitched game I've seen."

Then there was Orlando Cabrera.

The Reds shortstop wasn't in the mood for paying tribute to Halladay. Instead, he decided to give much of the credit to home-plate umpire John Hirschbeck for the ace's feat.

"Another umpire, he wouldn't have thrown a game like that," Cabrera told reporters postgame. "He was getting every pitch. We had no chance. We had to swing."

Told of the comment, the quiet and collected Halladay unsurprisingly took the high road.

"I thought (the strike zone) was good," Halladay said. "I thought really it was a pretty fair zone. There are going to be cases people aren't going to be happy with what's called."

Scott Rolen makes the final out! Classic.

Dear Scott Rolen - fuck you.

Seriously though, Cincinatti? Cincinatti in the playoffs is like seeing a Prius on the highway - does not belong.
