Year of the Pitching... ?

Alrighty so it's been a long time since my last post and regardless if anyone besides me and my mom check this out I had a moral obligation to get off my lazy self and get a new post out there! So tonight on 26th of July 2010, Matt Garza threw MLB's 5th no-no of the season, which is a lot.. about three times the average year would recieve, which upon controversy media, fans and analysts begin to ask why, but by asking why it creates more controversy and in which A never goes away and B gives me something to do! So hopefully tonight I'll get to offer some insight why in my opinion we have some stunning pitching statistics recently.

First off congrats and hats off to Tampa Bay Ray's pitcher Matt Garza, for throwing the organizations first ever no hitter, first no hitter on July 26th, and for being the first pitcher named Matt to hurl one. With only a second inning BB tarnishing this spectacular gem, Garza continued the year of the pitcher, in which are being single handedly pointed to the fact that the steroid era, which is winding down brought awareness to hitters as a whole..

My initial thought is to side with everyone idiotic enough to propose that because a few of the best hitters in baseball are now off steroids pitchers have gained some sort of magical superiority over all the combined hitters, but A) That isn't what they propose and B) it doesn't work like that. I'm not going to lie, at the moment im iffy as between what I believe the cause of the pitching surge is.. .Is it because the steriods, is it a fluke? Just coincidence, maybe theres a conspiracy in the league with Bud Selig leading to a lock out, who knows? Definitely not me right now, I would LOVE to finish a complete thought and a post tonight, especially being my "return" but I'll have to pick a side for tomorrow's post and I'll make sure that it's backed enough to change your idea !
