Awesome body slam there

What an amazing performance by Johan - after everything he's been through, to deliver the 1st no hitter in Mets history. I'm happy for him.

All those years watching the Mets on WOR-TV, and listening to Lindsey Nelson, Ralph Kiner, and Bob Murphy ......... and they finally get a no-hitter. .:clap3:

Interesting bit of info here:

The fan who ran on the field was wearing a Gary Carter jersey, the former mets hall of famer who died this year.

Gary Carter wore #8.

The mets tonight had 8 runs, 8 hits, and Johan Santana had 8 strikeouts.

kind of cool...

One of my best friends was at this game. He was up in NY for his wedding anniversary.

Just to be clear on two things:

1. He did yell "O!"

2. He wore his Orioles gear and his wife had on a "I'm too cute to be a Yankee fan" shirt on.

So our Birds were represented at the game last night!

Great for Santana.

Shame that the taint of poor umpiring will leave its mark on the game.

Better an Umps' incompetence give a no hitter then to take one away I guess.

My sister was at the game too. Her boyfriend lost his ticket stub so she gave him hers. Can't say I would have done the same.

And of course, R.A. Dickey follows it up with an even more dominating performance the very next afternoon. :wedge:

This is the best stretch I can remember seeing a knuckleballer have. The lack of walks is amazing.

With Jonathon Niese's 6 shutout innings last night, Mets starters have not given up a run to the Cardinals in 24 innings pitched in the first 3 games of the 4-game series.

They go for the sweep today with Dillon Gee toeing the rubber for the boys from Queens.
