I'm almost positive that you love my corny titles, but on Friday, June 1st you did not want to mess with Johan Santana. Santana put together a gem; pitching the first no hitter in Mets history and the third in 2012.It was no easy task to get through the power packed lineup of the St. Louis Cardinals, but Santana did. At 134 a career high Santana walked 5 batters but did not allow a hit. The defending world champs had a few well struck balls, but the defense backed up Santana. Former Met Carlos Betran struck a ball down the line and it was called foul. The replay later revealed that it was a fair ball, but the umpire's call stood.
There have been 122 no hitters since the Mets were added to the MLB in 1962. In 2012 the Mets can finally say they have pitched a no hitter.
