As we continue to honor the Johan Santana No Hitter over the Cardinals that took place a year ago today, I was curious about something.
As you might have noticed, our newest writer Susana Crespo has been collecting comments from fans of teams the Mets beat this season. The Yankee fans this past week were quite epic.
So I got to thinking, what did the Cardinals fans think on the day their beloved Red Birds were no-hit.
Well this is what happened….
From SB Nation’s “Viva El Birdos“:
“Santana vs. Wainwright. Just sounds exciting. Great pitchers with serious recent injury issues who seem on the right track now.”
“I hate watching changeup pitchers dominate”
“I predict a couple HRs off of Santana”
“Mets’ broadcast regarding Matt Adams: ‘Adams 6’3, 230 … although that might be after a diet'”
“It’s Friday, Me & my girlfriend got approved for a home loan. I just got paid. Great night. Importantly…. Go CRADS!!!”
“perhaps should have put changeup In the scouting report. He’s only had one of the best ones for the last dozen years.”
“fair ball!”
“fair f’n ball hfhs these guys are baddddddddddddddd”
“fuck these umps”
“IT IS NOT WHERE IT GOES OVER THE BAG YOU F’N IDIOTS”
“I see chalk”
“the mets don’t have a no-hitter in team history And for good reason… They are pond scum.”
“who the hell is Lucas Duda? I thought these guys were spring training filler last time we played them.”
“yadi please do a thing. ANYTHING.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“Baxter made a nice catch on the warning track and stumbleran into the wall was taken out of the game. No-no continues. This game bloooooooooooows.”
“where the hell are our lucky bounces? What kind of voodoo have the mets cast tonight?”
“so, this isn’t happening right now, right”
“this game just has everything terrible”
“I propose bringing in Rally Adron to drag a bunt”
“NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER”
“matheny just needs to tell the ump he looks like a penis with a hat on and call it a night”
“did you guys know the mets have never had a no hitter … IN THEIR ENTIRE HISTORY?”
“the Mets don’t deserve a no-hitter especially when the umps took a hit away”
“No matter what happens, Johan Santana and all Mets fans will always know that he didn’t throw a no-hitter.”
“my kingdom for a In play (no out)”
“it could come down to 2 outs And David Freese at the plate.”
“how sweet that would be? On an otherwise shitty loss. Make it a 2 out 2 strike homer to end the shutout while we’re at it”
“did matheny walk that ump over to the line and point to the spot the ball hit and say ‘you’re a moran'”?
“I would like VEB to know this is all its fault. as soon as that lineup was posted in the day thread and people started talking about what an offensive juggernaut it could be, I knew something like this would happen”
“all up to you freese. No pressure”
“pleeeeease let this come down to Yadi. I love watching him fuck over the Mets”
“Tainted. Like everything about the Mets.”
“everybody’s got a taint.”
“fuuuuuuuuck”
“i guess if we have to suffer the gob’s wrath this season because we used up all our good will in game 6, it was still totally worth it.”
“cardinals suck you, guys”
“too bad the first no hitter in the history of the Mets had to be a combined no hitter”
“congrats to Johan.. Despite the blown call and the 5 walks, he was still pretty nasty and that was a hell of an effort to go the distance with that pitch count.”
“i think the 3rd base ump should autograph a picture of that ball mark, autograph it, and send it to johan. i suppose every no-hitter needs a little luck.”
“Well that was about as much fun as having a fight with my wife…..well shit …that happened too”
“I thought we we the best hitting team in the NL? I thought we just got one of our good bats back in the lineup? I thought May was over?”
“So how many more starts before Santana lands on the DL? I’ll guess pre All-Star break.”
“This game had everything you need for a bad no hitter. awful umpiring, great defensive plays, low BABIP with high LD% and a lot of hitter’s counts going the wrong way.”
“hey, i just got here. what’d i miss? oh wait.”
“You missed 0. Literally.”
“well, this is a turning point for the team. either they rebound and get motivated, or roll over and struggle. let’s hope it’s the first part.”
“Yeah, I don’t think just being no-hit makes a game a turning point….”
“Apparently in Adrian Johnson’s World chalk randomly flys by itself.”
“I guess if I had to miss one game to go out drinking with some buddies, I sure as hell chose a good one”
