What not to say when your team is on the wrong end of a one-hitter

"I didn't think he was all that sharp. I really didn't. I thought he had some life to his fastball. It looked like we had some pitches to hit, but we just didn't swing it very well. You have to give some credit. I didn't think he was like a one-hit type of performance, but I did think he threw the ball really well."- Cecil Cooper, manager of the Houston Astros after a one hit loss to pitcher Edinson Volquez of the Cincinnati Reds per the Houston Chronicle.

I have always liked Cecil Cooper going back to his playing days but this was not his classiest moment. Highlights on Sports Center show Volquez making the Houston batters look pretty silly.

Come on, Cecil what does he have to do to get more than a grudging hat tip from you?

Will a perfect game do?
