    That was a ballsy pitch (no pun intended! )...big onions to take a chance like that.

    Interesting fact I saw on FOX Sports: 7 ex- NY Mets have now pitched perfect games (Humber was a Met). The NY Mets have not had a no-hitter, much less a perfect game.

    Yeah with that note.....guess Flushing does aptly describe whats happened to the Mets. Do you think it was because they had a Bad Strawberry in the Bunch?

    No - because the owners believed that they had "Made Off" with all kinds of money.

    Yeah. The catcher called it and his thinking was if he walks, the no hitter is still intact. But, yeah, it was fun to watch.
