Harden almost perfect last night

He retired the first 22 Texas Rangers in his attempt to become the first pitcher throw a no-hitter or a perfect game since Randy Johnson did it last May against the hapless Atlanta Generals. He ended up with a 2 hit shutout and 8 k's (0 walks).

This guy is going to be a stud for years to come if he can avoid any major injuries. He was hitting 100 MPH on the gun last night, too!

I was watching some of that game on EI last night. He was outstanding!
