So, just watch this and enjoy. It's long and weird and crazy. Like me. Like all Mets fans tonight. So, so happy. (I start talking around 1:45)

Here's a video of me watching Johan Santana throw the Mets first no-hitter
I really have no words right now other then what I said in the moments after Johan Santana struck out the final batter to seal the first no-hitter in Mets history and in his career.

With Thole back, who goes?
Update: Rob Johnson has been sent down to Triple-A Buffalo. And there's your move.

Mets 2012 Stars & Stripes hat is camouflage
Looks like these hats are going from bad to worse.

I was on TV last night!
My girlfriend and I went to last night's Mets/Reds game, and ended up on TV a few times. I also caught a T-shirt. It was a banner day for me.
(I'm in the white button down with the blue hat. The girlfriend is next to me in the grey Mets shirt.)

8,000
Eight thousand games. 8K games. 100 + 900 x 8 = 8,000 games.
And still, no no-hitters.
Well, still 7,999. Johan Santana takes the mound on Friday for the Mets 8,000th ever game and their 8,000th attempt at pitching a no-no.
Just the Mets and the San Diego Padres have never pitched a no-hitter (and the Washington Nationals, but everyone but the Nationals knows they used to be the Montreal Expos). The Pads, though, have only played about 6,900 games in their lifetime.
Look, in the end, no-hitters don't really matter. They're not worth more wins, or runs, or games in the standings. But they're cool. And the Mets, at nearly 8,000 games don't have one. Roughly two no-nos are tossed a year, with 274 thrown since 1875.
And yet, the Mets don't have one.
Of course, pitchers who pitched for the Mets went on to throw no-hitters (and a perfect game) and pitchers that had completed the feat eventually came to the Mets, but couldn't spin the same yarn while in orange and blue.
So, on Friday when (not if) Santana gives up a hit to a member of the Miami Marlins, all the numbers on the odometer will turn, and the Mets will hit the dubious mark of 8K games without a no-hitter. Nothing will change and the Mets will go for it again in game eight thousand and one.

SOMEBODY LEFT THE GATE OPEN
The song that has been burned into Mets fans brains since the beginning of the season has been found, in its entirety. Amazingly, it gets worse than what we've heard.
Enjoy it, if you can...

If you didn't think the Marlins would be a circus this year...
This video should confirm it for you...
