No Year of the Pitcher

There was an article in the morning paper today entitled "2010:  The Year of the Pitcher."  The article claims that, with Matt Garza notching the fifth no-hitter of the season this week, 2010 can be claimed as a new "Year of the Pitcher."  Their argument was that with those five no-hitters, not to mention several near-no-hitters (and one near-perfecto) there was a new dominance of pitchers after over 15 years of hitter supremacy.

Hogwash.
