San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain threw the 22nd perfect game in MLB history last night and second of 2012, but who gives a shit?

Check out how this guy took in the action:

If this guy was trying to skip out on tickets to save cash, he did a pretty poor job of it. Standing room only tickets for that section of AT&T Park go for about $18. His JetLev waterpack comes in just a tad higher at $99,500. Then again, maybe he didn’t have a choice. After all, even though the Giants were playing the Houston Astros, the game was sold out.

But if he was trying to be the coolest guy in San Francisco, then I would say he succeeded. Well, until Matt Cain blew it and threw a perfect game.

The right-hander needed 125 pitches to retire all 27 Astros’ hitters in the Giants’ 10-0 victory, striking out 14 of them. Outfielders Melky Cabrera and Gregor Blanco each made a spectacular defensive catch in the sixth and seventh innings that made me pee a little bit and preserved history at the same time.

And the fact that Cain did it against the Houston Astros shouldn’t be held against him. Coming into Wednesday, the Astros were a better hitting team than 13 other big league clubs.

Cain is now 8-2 on the season with a 2.18 ERA (2nd in the NL) and 96 strikeouts (2nd in the NL). Unlike Jayson Werth and Carl Crawford, Cain seems to be earning every penny of his $120 million-plus contract these days…
