Re: Santana no hitter

Considering the great names that have pitched for NYM I was very surprised to hear this was their first.

That's pretty awesome. Congrats to all Mets fans and Johan fans. He has battled a lot of injuries and nice to see him healthy and accomplish such a feat!

Pretty cool too see! Happy for Johan coming back from shoulder surgery and throwing such a great game!

Re: Santana no hitter

What about the line drive called foul, when it clearly hit the chalk line?

Technically this is NOT a no-hitter!

Home town cooking from the umps!!!

Besides the five walks and the blown call, he pitched pretty good with some great defense!

I'm glad for Johan, but I agree there is no disputing the fact that the Beltran ball in the 6th hit the line.

Unfortunately, sometimes the pitcher is on the wrong end of a bad call too.

Umpires are human and mistakes will happen affecting the outcome of a game. Of course they are more magnified when something special like a no-no happens or does not happen.

Bottom line officially it's a no-no for Johan and unfortunately a 1 hitter for Gararraga.

Every one knows that it is NOT a NO HITTER.


The only people who will overlooked the obvious hit by Beltran are - METS fan and Johan Santana fans along with his game used collectors.


I would accept Armando's 1 hitter is the TRUE No Hitter before I accept Santana's No hitter as a 1 hitter shutout!

Re: Santana no hitter

I love how there are so many Mets haters. First you guys hated on the Reyes batting title. Now its the no-hitter. The call is the call. Every game has good and questionable calls. whether it is a foul ball or a ball strike call or like the Armando game a play on the bases. It is what it is.

Technically it is a no-hitter, really it isn't would be your argument. Just one more franchise left to accomplish the feat.

Don't forget MLB.

Re: Santana no hitter

With the blown call keeping the no hitter intact, deep down Johan cannot feel too good about the game being labeled a no-hitter. For he knows he got away with a call which cheapens the feat.

I am waiting for the third base umpire to make a public apology for having something in his eyes. It must have been the chalk being hit by the ball being carried by the wind and got into his eyes.

Revenge of the umpire for chalk getting into his vision.


But seriously, how could it NOT be a hit when the ball hit the chalk line AFTER the base bag? This does not need instant replay.


I am not taking anything away from Santana, but forever this "chalk blurred my vision" by the umpire will be tagged along with the No Hitter.


Even some of my family members who are die-hard Mets fans - they even say that it was not a No Hitter. It is more like a dirty No Hitter if anything. But since they were suffering for so long with out having one, regular MLB fans might just let it go.


If that is the case, might as well give the Padres a No Hitter and get it over with.

Reyes cheapen the batting tittle by quitting on the last three non-existence at bat - by removing himself from the game!


It must have been the incentives in the contract or something --- and that amount must be huge, so he doesnt care what fans and others think about him.
