no hitter

Johan Santana has probably pitched his last game for the Mets.

"I don't know if it would be quite as satisfying. I think the asterisk beside the no-hitter would get more attention than the no-hitter, you know?" Dickey said. "It would be a little bit cheap."

After 8,019 games and 134 pitches, Johan Santana pitched the first no hitter in Mets history last night—shock and elation has followed throughout the city from current players, fans, former players, and long-suffering Mets addicts.

A man, wearing a Gary Carter "8" jersey and a pair of jean shorts (jorts), joined the ecstatic players for a few brief moments until being tackled by stadium security.

Tonight, Johan Santana pitched the first no-hitter in the Mets' 50-year history in a 8-0 win over the Cardinals.
