9 IP 0 H 0 R 1 BB 8 K: I wasn't originally supposed to be at tonight's game -- with our partial season ticket plan my dad and I were assigned Game 2 of the NLDS, but since my Firm's having its biannual firmwide retreat in Orlando starting Friday afternoon we had to swap games, and the Phillies ticket office was nice enough to give us comparable seats for tonight.
Oh. My. God.
Mind you, I've attended two no-hitters before, one of which I've written up here, but I've never seen anything like this in person before. Such utter control. Such ridiculously unhittable stuff. "It's no fun out there," said should-be-NL-MVP Joey Votto. "It's like trying to hit nothing. He's an ace among aces."
The only game I can compare to this one was The Kerry Wood Game, where the stakes were so much lower. I truly don't have the words right now, but the 700 Level has some audio/visual content which may help.
As Halladay himself said after he pitched the complete game which clinched the division title, it's only gonna get funner.
