One seriously strange baseball game

Somehow the L.A. Angels pitched a no-hitter (that won't count as a no-hitter) against the Dodgers but lost the game anyway. An error was called against the pitcher, but it didn't look like an error. That led to a run for a team that didn't even record a hit. The pitcher throwing the no-hitter, Jered Weaver, got pulled from the game and didn't look happy about it. And to top it off, it won't even count as a no-hitter because the Angels only pitched eight innings since the Dodgers didn't need to bat in the bottom of the ninth inning. Weaver will get the loss even though he didn't give up a hit -- at least officially.

And this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Reportedly, there have been five games now where a team has won without recording a hit. You've got to love baseball.
