My thoughts are that AA should have listened to me in the winter when I was pushing to move for Johan. He wouldnt have cost anything but salary then. Risky yes, but Johan had shown he can come back from major injury previously.

It's the opposite of the Galarraga blown call for me - Beltran hit a clean double that bounced clearly off the line, leaving a tennis-style ball mark. Even without instant replay, umpires should be able to look at a ball mark to get that call right. I'm sure lots of no hitters have been on questionable error calls, but I don't recall one like that. I thought something similar was going to happen in Halladay's postseason gem, when the last hitter sqibbed one ten feet and then released their bat into fair territory, in the catcher's way, and wasn't immediately called out.

Glad for the Mets, after reading something this offseason about the franchise's long search for a no-hitter. But I'm a killjoy this morning, I guess.

I wanted to take a minute to celebrate the continuing genius of Jon Heyman. He tweeted:

"Mets no no-hit streak was the most in sports. More amazing than dimaggio, not even close. #johan"

There have been 275 no hitters (not sure if this is before yesterday or not) and 21 perfect games. There have been 10 hitting streaks longer than 35 games, and the second longest was 45 games.
