Forget what I said about this being a slow news day in baseball — Dallas Braden just pitched a friggin’ perfect game against the Rays, seemingly out of nowhere. This is just 19th perfect game in the history of professional baseball.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since Braden threw a (somewhat justifiable) hissy fit over Alex Rodriguez walking over his mound. A-Rod responded by citing Braden’s handful of big league victories in front the fawning media. Well, now the Yankee better stay off Braden’s territory as he’s vaunted himself into an elite category of pitchers.
