Any time a guy with a 9.13 ERA throws a six-walk, two-whiff no-hitter, it's a Useless Information Department kind of phenomenon. So let's delve into the madness of Francisco Liriano's unlikely no-no. Jayson Stark(via ESPN.com) , with a dozen interesting stats and nuggets related to Liriano's no-hitter -- which turns out to be as compelling for its odd cragginess as it would have been had it been simply brilliant.

The no-hitter ranks among the more improbable in recent history.... And yet that can be said for nearly any no-hitter, because each takes a confluence of stuff and luck. In Liriano’s case, it was almost all luck. Just 11 previous no-hitters featured two or fewer strikeouts. For so many batted balls to end up in gloves is nothing short of amazing, not when 30 percent of them usually fall to the ground. Jeff Passan(via Yahoo Sports) .

I guess this means Liriano gets to stay in the rotation for a while, huh?
(NBCSports.com's Aaron Gleeman)

Liriano was a bad outing away from losing his spot in the rotation. So he throws a no-hitter.
(ESPN's Tony Reali)

Kudos to Liriano. BUT: Only 66 strikes / 123 pitches, 6 BB to 2 K & it was the White Sox. #notbuying #sellhigh
(ESPN's Matthew Berry)

He would be a "what if" case if his healthy starts weren't so life-affirming. Appreciate him when you can.
(Yahoo's Eric Freeman)

Congratulations to those who've courageously held onto Francisco Liriano. Your scratched off lottery ticket reads "winner". Start shopping.
(Yahoo Fantasy's Brad Evans)

Between Liriano's walks, the White Sox's overall shittiness and Steve Stone's frog voice, that was the worst no-hitter I've ever watched

The Yankees-Liriano Rumor on 1/3/11 | Tipped by Quickish |

In this world, the Twins are expected to contend for another division title, and to not make moves that leave them obviously less likely to contend. And as desperate as the Yankees might be for a high-quality starting pitcher, I'm having trouble imagining a package they could put together for Liriano. Rob Neyer(via SBNation)
MLB Trade Rumor on 28/2/11 | Tipped by Quickish |
#yankees +5
Bob Nightengale of USA Today just told us that he thinks its possible that Liriano is traded to the Yanks in nxt 2 weeks for Nova or Joba + XM's Jim Bowden(via Twitter) , which comes with a big fat "if healthy." However: IF Liriano can stay healthy? A coup for the Yankees.
