In a season where the New York Yankees are being criticized and ridiculed for having a poor pitching staff, both rookie Phillip Hughes and Chien-Ming Wang have flirted with a no-hitter and a perfect game before succumbing in the late innings. Who will be the first Yankees pitcher this season to complete a masterpiece?

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. No-Hitters and Perfect games are rare for all pitchers. The fact that Yankees starting pitching and even relief pitching has been awful this season gives them even less of a chance of throwign a no-hitter. If any Yankee throws a no-hitter this season, I think it will be Carl Pavano and he will shock everybody if and when he comes back

Interesting that of the 21 perfect games thrown, the first 9 spanned 88years (1880 -1968) and the last 12 has spanned only 31 years (1981-2012).

WIth that sieve of a defense behind them? You've got to be kidding.
They're not all that common. The link below is to a complete list of games that are no-hitters, extraordinary efforts (less than 9 full innings, or not giving up a hit for nine innings but coming back out and giving up at least one in extra innings) , and combined no-hitters. The latter two simply don't count.

Dream on!! Keep living a fantasy!! Typical Yankees fan, never facing reality. NO Yankees pitcher will pitch either a no hitter OR a perfect game this year. Get real!!
Chow!!

None. the hitters are too good and the Yankees pitchers are the worst in baseball.

At this rate all their pitchers will be injured and they'll have to start someone from AA. Maybe he'll get a no hitter or something.

Wang. He's a dominant pitcher, but no one wants 2 believe me. Whoever does, they'll have 1 more than our Boston counterparts.
