Alright, you'll be stuck with pics of my family and very far away shots of Mets.

Tell you what Thomas, they keep getting hurt, but they don't seem to be missing a beat.
Me and Mac talked opening day, we both agreed they had no depth.
They call up the kid at SS, he goes 3-4.
Hefner takes the ball, earns a win and hits a HR
Mets have done an amazing (pun intended ) job this year.
Especially since they're playing a 3rd string catcher, 4th string SS, and God knows what string in the OF.
Wonder if all these players they keep calling up who are producing is enough for Mac to finally admit Omar wasn't that bad?

Omar or not, maybe one's position in the MLB Draft is more important than we thought.

Guess there's some advantage to being an also-ran for a decade or so.

Santana pitches the first no hitter in Mets history, beating the Cardinals 8-0.

I'm STOKED right now!!!

Mac - If you hadn't asked me to take pics I probably wouldn't have taken so many. We were in the Pepsi Porch area. It was unbelievable being there. Last thing's first. Here's the scoreboard at the end.

Starting from the left: my brother Chris, me, my brother Mike, my Dad and our good luck charm Eddie all the way from County Longford, Ireland. It was Eddie's first baseball game and he could not understand the magnitude of it.

Crappy long distance pic, but here's Santana warming up before first pitch:

This has to be in the 8th inning. My buddy, Kevin, and I (also Kevin in the foreground) finally believing the first Mets no-hitter was in sight. SOrry for the extreme close up of my enormous noggin.

9th inning....my bros and Kev going crazy
