Well this link doesn't get you there, but gets you on the way to it. Eventually you can click video, then click a down arrow to get more choices... The umpire didn't spin, he had a good chance to see it. The ball hits the foul line beyond the third base bag, on the line. One of the announcers said "where it goes over the bag", which is incorrect. Had the ball first bounced somewhere, then that would be correct. But here it was on the fly. From looking at the box score I didn't see an ejection. The umpire blew the call. Even though I'm a Cardinal fan, I like the no replay aspect of this aspect of the game, I'm accepting of Santana getting a no hitter for his effort tonight.

Congratulations to Johan. He gave me a lot of thrills pitching for the Twins, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I wonder what Bill Smith the former Twins GM who traded Santana for a bag of rock is thinking about tonight.

Well I just read that Beltran hit a ball that third base umpire Adrian Johnson called foul as he spun away from the ball, the replay shows the ball kicking up the foul line chalk after it past third base... I couldn't find a video link, would like to see it, though. Still a great outing for Santana.
Attendance was around 27k I think, lots of empty seats. No doubt a bunch of folks had tickets and didn't go. |

There are no stubs to this game or any Mets game and I had assumed around all of MLB or at least most. You keep the full ticket and it is scanned as you enter.

Unfortunately, I'm in that category.
But as a season ticket holder, I have tickets to every Mets game, and it's not like I go to each and every one.From a collecting standpoint, you guys might like to know that in an Ebay auction that ended at 10.18pm last night, one season ticket from the game, described as "mint unused," sold for $178.59 (Ebay item number 221039772073; 21 bids from 10 bidders).

We always use e tickets for games and keep the season tix pristine. I plan on framing one ticket with a cut out box score and the inside photo from the Times. Glad it wasn't one of the season tickets with Wagner or Hampton or Glavine. Ojeda is fine by me.

After a major shoulder injury and lots of rehab - very rewarding for him.
His changeup was awesome tonight! |

Who cares? He issued 5 walks. How many guys gave up 1 hit and no walks or 2 hits and 1 walks, etc., etc. and got no credit..............?

As a die hard Yankees fan and a Met Hater I always give credit where credit is due. He looked a little tired at the end went 3-0 and came back and struck his last batter out! Phil lighten up a little and give the man some credit . Surgery,rehab, that still is great in my book! congrats!

Geez. For a bunch of guys that wax poetic about the glory days of baseball when there was no replay and pitchers finished their games regardless of pitch counts, you sure bring out the torches quickly. How many other no hitters and other accomplishments wouldn't count if we had the technology and scrutiny we have now? Don't think any of Ruth's home runs could have been on the wrong side of the foul pole? Don't think WaJo or Matty ever benefitted from a call? C'mon. The reason we love this game is because it is human and subject to interpretation and wouldn't work if it was any other way.

Threads like this are WAAAAAAAY better than the literally endless T206 threads so I dont have a problem with them, if you dont want to read about it dont click on the clearly identified thread title
To the game..... At least he didn't ruin history like the Umpire in the Galarraga perfect game. We take Umpires for granted, their job is incredibly tough and I am constantly amazed at how often they are right! Nobody will remember the "hit" over time but his name will be in history books forever and I dont have a problem with that either. |

For those who say it isn't a real no hitter, I believe you couldn't be more wrong. I don't see anyone taking away the Royals championship in 1985 because of a bad call. If anyone thinks there weren't controversial calls before TV than their just fooling themselves. Now add slow mo instant replay from many camara angles. I'll go as far as to say that the umpires of today are better then any previous generation. Congratulations to all Met fans. Gooden, Cone, Ryan, Seaver all pitched no no's after leaving the Mets. Now they have of their own. |

Interesting that Bob Ojeda's on the ticket.. As an Indians fan, I generally remember him for one thing..
Can anyone else spot the "unfortunate" choice of words on Bob's Wikipedia page... "Ojeda is best remembered as an anchor in the 1986 World Series Champion New York Mets starting rotation, and for being the lone survivor of a March 22, 1993 boating accident that killed fellow Cleveland Indians pitchers Steve Olin and Tim Crews" |
