Actually a combined no hitter is MUCH more difficult than a one man version, even rarer than a perfect game. If there should be a seperate category it is the most exclusive category of all Baseball feats that you can reasonably accomplish in the entire game. 6 guys all having to be on their game in one night is unbelievable and instead of taking anything away, it should be looked at as a better feat than something one pitcher at the top of his game can accomplish.
Congrats to the Mariners!

Didn't the Astros no-hit the Yankees using five or six pitchers?

I must respectfully disagree that a no-hitter from multiple pitchers is more impressive or a greater feat than the standard one hurler no-hitter. It may be rarer, but that's because a starter is almost never pulled while he has a no-no intact. A starter has to show endurance and some guile, as each hitter gets to see him and all of his pitches at least three times. Relievers can simply let it all go for the 3-5 batters they see--batters who have not seen them before and will not see them again--and some relievers can be brought in for purely situational reasons, i.e. pitching purely to their strength for a couple of batters. Frankly no one pitcher really impresses me who can hold a team hitless for just an inning or even two, and having a few who can do it in the same game is not all that breathtaking either, IMHO.
All that being said, I still give props to the Mariners for silencing a hot and potent team.

I agree with the disagreement.
I don't find it remotely as impressive as a one hurler no-hitter.

Roy Oswalt, Munro, Saarloos, Lidge, Dotel and Wagner were the pitchers for the Astros. To be honest, I never thought that this feat would be repeated with another 6 pitcher no-hitter. Definately like catching lighning in a bottle!
