Yes. Yes he nearly did. After 8 2/3 perfect innings when, with only 1 out needed, Marwin Gonzales hits a base hit straight through Darvish's legs. I must say, that was one of the more intense moments of my fan-dom.... i can only imagine how it must have felt to be Yu. but Darvish is a classy man. He shrugged and smiled as he left the field. It really seems that the fans showed more disappointment then he did... But let's be honest, that was still an incredible game in which the rangers went on to shut the Astros out 7-0. And before you say "well, it WAS the Astros. That isn't that hard." why don't you look up the number of perfect games pitched in all of baseball history. It is shockingly small, regardless of how terrible the opposing team is.
But i have faith. I will not jynx it....but i have faith.
