Mets no-hitter alert

[Oz]

John Maine through seven innings.

There, I jinxed it. :D

Ozzy, you know you're one of my faves here.

But I despise you for starting this thread.

Hey, someone did it to poor Scotty Baker.

(Don't think I've forgotten that, Doc...)

Sorry, man, but someone had to do it. Besides, I don't believe in jinxes. If he's going to throw one, he's going to throw one. I have nothing to do with it.

Besides, it's not like we avoided saying "no-hitter" on the baseball thread. We were talking about it in the open already.

 

[zeke12]

Five outs to go...

 

[zeke12]

Now four...

 

[hockeybeat]

Over. Maine gave up an infield single with two outs in the eighth.

He's getting a standing ovation after striking out 15.

And Willie's going to the pig 'pen.

 

[zeke12]

Way to nut up, John Maine.

Regardless of whether you're rooting for the Mets or not, that's a big game performance.

 

[Angola!]

damn, nice showing by maine with the season on the line.

 

[shockey]

a swinging bunt. darn shame for maine. :( :( :(

meanwhile, no one will care if the phils win their last two. sorry, mets fans. that's the simple truth.

As the Phils go down, 1-0.

That's the truth. Mets had the division and playoffs in their grasp and putzed it away in the last two weeks. Now, they're hoping that the Nats can take two from the Phils while they beat Florida tomorrow. If they can beat Florida.

One of my best roto picks ever.

Paul Hoover with the only hit for FLA today. I covered Paul Hoover in Legion and HS baseball. Good to see one of the remnants from my old days sticking around.

 

[Songbird]

Looks like you could have a cool little feature for your paper since he's local and you covered him. Maybe call his family to get a cell phone number to get a few quotes. Or call his legion and/or high school coach.

 

[BYH]

Haha.

I'm long gone from both that paper and that city. They gotta do it themselves now!

 

[Mayfly]

Thought I would mention that the Mets had no hitters today too. Zing!

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

I went to HS with Paul. I was talking about him with Jason Wood earlier this season, pretty cool.
