Would you let Johan go out in the 9th to chase a no hitter if he has 120 pitches through 8 IP?

Mets now have their first no hitter in franchise history, congrats to Johan.

Congrats to Johan Santana.

Thought he would fall victim to the ESPN ticker jinx but got it done.

Beltran should have gotten a hit but that was awesome nonetheless. That wasn't even Johan's best game this season. Great thing to happen to the Mets who haven't have a good last couple years.

He also shut out the Padres in his previous start. That's 18 consecutive shutout innings, maybe more if you go back his start before he blanked SD.

Anyway, yeah no hitters are always great so congrats to JOHAN.

Johan~!

He's looking like his old self and the Mets in general are looking nice. Knock on wood.

It sucks with what happened to Mike Backster (aka Captain America). He's been a really solid player for the Mets this year. I hope he's not out too long.

Looks like he got pulled from the game before that after giving up a HR, so 18 IP is the streak.

Trout be hustlin'

**Haystacks Calhoun** · 06-01-2012, 11:17 PM

Not like that OG Giancarlo.

Fuck you Mike Trout, you're awesome. That is all.

Nope there's more. Trout might be the fastest guy in MLB and probably will be the best CF in the league by the end of the season. And he's clutch with the bat. Dammit.

Still enjoyed the game, but Texas has to start hitting with runners in scoring position (then again Trout probably took away two would be scoring hits).
