I know my boss, Joe, isn’t as excited about this as I am, but it’s certainly worth noting. My thoughts on the first no-hitter in Mets history:
50 years. 8,019 games. No no-hitters.
Until tonight.
There’s not much left to say at this point. Last night marked the first truly memorable moment at Citi Field, the Mets finally have a no hitter (or is it no-hitter?…I’m not used to this, folks), and now we wait on pins and needles to see if Johan’s arm survived the night.

For a moment there, it looked like it was going to be another come-from-behind, one-run victory. And it was … except, for the Marlins instead of the Mets.
Frank Francisco made it an interesting ending, but the Mets still prevailed.
