Wow San Francisco liberals slaughter Dumbya's

Astros with a perfect game.

What a 'Caining'!

Matt Cain pitched the 22nd perfect game in Major League Baseball history as the San Francisco Giants beat the Houston Astros 10-0.

Cain, 27, threw 125 pitches at AT&T Park in San Francisco and struck out 14 batters to tie Sandy Koufax's record for the most strikeouts in a perfect game, set in 1965. Cain was mobbed by teammates on the mound after pinch-hitter Jason Castro grounded out to third for the final out of the game.

"I felt a good rhythm in the bull pen and when I got on the mound in between the lines I felt like I knew what I was doing with my fastball," Cain said in a televised interview as the crowd gave him a standing ovation. "Usually those are good days when that happens and it obviously worked out right."

It was the first perfect game and 14th no-hitter in franchise history. The last Giant to throw a no-hitter was Jonathan Sanchez on July 10, 2009.

1. Bush never owned the Astros. He used to be an owner of the Texas Rangers.

2. The Fail is strong with this one.

As a political cheap shot, this takes the cake. Embarrassing. Can't we celebrate a major acomplishment in a young man's life without having to contrive a political dig?

It is their nature and what they do.

The Scorpion and the Frog

  A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

  The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

      Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."
