You were there Kevin?!?!? Awesome that you got to witness history like that! Congrats to Santana and the Mets....and to you for being there to see it!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Thats awesome that you were there. I saw on the bottom line on the heat game that santana was taking the no no into the 9th. Had to switch to it. Im glad he did it. He is going in the right direction this season and hopefully his success will continue

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Tip of the cap from StLu. That was hard for me to watch.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

For the last few years, my boss and I had a running joke that whenever I went to a game the Mets lost. The year the Mets had the late season collapse, I went to 3 of the final 8 games - all losses. I can't believe I was there last night for something so historic.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Thanks for the pics. Looks like you had a blast.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Kevin...you witnessed a real treat brother. I'm jealous!! :D

Thanks for the pics. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Congratulations on the no-hitter for Santana, the Mets, and their loyal fans.


Let's hope you guys can live another 50 years, to see their 2nd one. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

LOL Tom..

I was thinking to myself today is the next Met pitcher to throw a No Hitter
A) on the Roster yet
B) in the farm system
C) not even born yet

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

C final answer:tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dicket pitches a complete game shutout to pick up his 8th win as the Mets beats the Cardinals 5-0...two consecutive shutouts. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Probably so...but I'm enjoying it while I can. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yep, first time since 2007 and 2008.....AND I FORGET, WHAT HAPPENED THEN? :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets lost todays game 5-4, but took the series 3-1!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And we fall a 1/2 game outta first. Rauch is killing is this year. Everytime he comes in, he gives up runs. :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The bullpen strikes yet again. Despite allowing three runs, Gee pitched a nice 7 innings. Given the last couple complete game wins, I had hoped Collins would have left him stay in for at least the 8th inning.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets draft Cecchini, Gavin Barbe HS, LA SS R/R HS 6'02" 180lbs.

Bloodlines are always a good thing, so the fact that Cecchini's brother, Garin, was a 2010 draftee and now in the Red Sox organization doesn't hurt. The younger Cecchini, however, is more than making a name for himself.Cecchini has a quick stroke with good extension, enabling him to make consistent hard contact. He's got mostly gap power now and his speed plus instincts allow him to be a basestealing threat and take the extra base. Those instincts also help him defensively.While his hands are good and he grades out as average with his arm and range, some think a move to second might be better. Either way, this scrappy middle infielder is sure to get plenty of looks in the spring.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Ahhhhh, what a heartbreaker. Good game to listen to on the radio, though.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

As we lose to the Nats 7-6 in 12 innings...and the bullpen blows yet another game. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

To be fair, I blame the horrific defense. Valdespin's 2 errors in one inning killed Parnell's outing.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Can't win games when we give up errors on simple ground balls.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I agree...Valdespin probably owns the L for that game. But it's so easy to lay it on the bullpen...worst in the MLs. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop another one to the Nats, 5-3.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

....and in good conscience i cant even gloat!...man this sux! :gary

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Met's have had a tough few games. Not good with interleague starting Friday against a couple decent teams.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

The Mets enjoy a much needed win this afternoon against the 1st place Nats (3-1). Another nice outing by Dickey. Now they get to head back to NY with a bit of confidence going after the Yankees.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Dickey wins his MLB leading ninth as the Mets FINALLY beat the Nats...3-1. :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets v Yanks in 15. Johan v Kuroda. Hope Johan has a good one.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Just gave up a 2 run HR to Cano. Why is Ike Davis not in the minors? I heard them say something about not wanting to damage his confidence. WTF???? He's hitting .160...send his ass down to get that stroke back.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I also heard that they didn't want to move Duda to first (his natural position) and get him out of rhythm. We have to do something about Ike.

Also, not really enjoying the 7-8-9 batters in a row - Ike, Bay and Quintanilla. Yikes.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Cano just hit his second HR. Looked like a half swing.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

and now Swisher. Might be time to switch the channel.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

And now Swisher...not looking good for the Zohan. :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Three in a row...channel changed. :bh :bh

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

and now Jones.......

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

I switched over to the US / Antigua soccer match. The US uniforms make the players look like gondoliers in Venice.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

9-1 ass whooping from the Evil Empire last night...and we only managed TWO hits. :bh :bh

Hopefully Gee can pull one out today.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

As for Santana, Johan yielded more big hits than Carlos ever did. :D

Gee, you think they can win in The Bronx today? ;)

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Ouch!!!!

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets drop another one to the Evil Empire, 4-2.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Shotty defense and the bullpen contribute to losing a 3-0 lead...and getting swept. :bh :bh :bh

Everyone but the Nats lost in the NL East...so no harm done.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Last I checked the Nats were in first.
How is falling a game further behind no harm done? :confused:
Unless of course the Mets are only playing for Third place.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mac want to wager a troop 5er and a 5 pack of Maduros on the Mets Rays series?

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Not with the way my Mets are playing. :D

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Third place (this year) would be a welcome surprise.

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Yeah, I'd agree that contending for a wild-card exceeds the preseason expectations I had for them, plus there's all the injuries to boot . . . not to mention all those "batters" (to use the term loosely) struggling to keep their heads within snorkling distance of the Mendoza line. Still, I'm hoping they can turn in around against the Rays.

Tell you what, Mac. My boys will do their best to beat up on the Braves for you, if yours try to take two or three from Tampa. :tu

Re: New York Mets 2012 Banter
 

Mets did their part...beating the Rays 11-2, as the offense finally woke up. And sole possesion of third place in the NL East.
