Matt Cain Perfect

Some are calling this game the "greatest game ever pitched."

If you were like most of the world last night, you weren't watching as Matt Cain threw his perfect game.I have alerts set up on my phone for such occasions, but I didn't care to turn it on because last time a perfect game was about to happen, I jinxed it.

Cain wasn't the only Giant working last night. Melky Cabrera and Gregor Blanco made two great catches to keep Cain's game untarnished.

"Those were unbelievable catches," Cain said. "I mean that right there, that changes the whole thing." Blanco said of his catch: "I didn't think I was going to make it, but I did,"

Cain threw 125 pitches with 14 strikeouts to earn just the 22nd perfect game in the Majors. This year has been the year of the pitcher, as there has already been five no hitters.

First HGH Suspension for North American Athlete, Mike Jacobs

Congratulations, Mike Jacobs. You have made history. No, not for being an all-star or winning a World Series. No, Jacobs has the honor of being the first North American athlete (and second athlete anywhere) to be suspended for testing positive for human growth hormone. Jacobs has since been released from the Colorado Rockies.

"We were very disappointed to learn that Mike Jacobs had been suspended after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance," the team said in a statement Thursday. "The Colorado Rockies have long been committed to eliminating the use of performance-enhancing substances from the game of baseball. We have fully supported the adoption and implementation of the Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association joint drug prevention and treatment program."

Jacobs will most likely be blackballed from other MLB teams. Jacobs was drafted by the Mets in 1999 and has spent time in and out of the majors being known has a hitter. Jacobs was with the AAA Colorado Springs Sky Sox at the time of his suspension, recovering from injuries.
