Diamond Cuts.

First of all, congratulations Ubaldo Jimenez, I knew there was a reason I drafted you.

It is a difficult thing to do, root against the team you have grown to love, but sometimes you must tip your hat to the opposition and recognize that it's just not going to be your day.

A disappointing day for my Atlanta Braves results in a historical outing for the Colorado Rockies and young pitching phenom, Ubaldo Jimenez. Fans lucky enough to be at Turner Field in Atlanta got to witness one of the most honorable feats in baseball history, the no hitter.

That's right, for the first time in the Colorado Rockies 18-year history, Ubaldo Jimenez dominated the Braves lineup, striking out seven hitters, allowing six walks and no hits. The six walks allowed came in the first five innings and Jimenez was dealing from the sixth on, often reaching speeds of nearly 100mph.

The Braves have been on the losing side of a no hitter before. This most recent performance was preceded by Randy Johnson's perfect game when he was pitching for the Arizona Diamondbacks back in 2004.

Fans of the Braves, although disappointed, did not walk away empty handed. Those who were able to watch the game will have a great story to tell years from now when Jimenez is no longer baby-faced. Those that were unable to watch the game must simply appreciate Jimenez's accomplishment.

Speaking of history, the New York Mets and the St. Louis Cardinals have a chance to break the record of the longest game in Major League Baseball history. As I type, the Cardinals tied the game in the bottom of the 19th inning, taking it into the 20th and hopefully on to the 27th to make it the longest game ever played. For the record, I hate the Mets.
