No No-Hitter, but Plenty of Pitchers
By MARK HERRMANN
There evidently is no jinx in talking about it before the game, so Willie Randolph had this to say yesterday afternoon about Tom Glavine’s start last night: “Maybe it will be a no-hitter. That would be nice.”
History, of course, didn’t endorse that idea. The fact the Mets never have had a no-hitter hit home freshly Wednesday night when the Marlins notched the fourth no-hitter in their history. Anibal Sanchez was the latest to do it for a franchise that got started 31 years after the Mets did.
Anyway, with due respect to the Marlins, the Mets have bigger fish to fry, in terms of pitching. The Mets must decide how many pitchers to keep on the postseason roster, and who they might be.
Interesting is that starters Dave Williams and Oliver Perez could barely have pitched better than they did in the doubleheader Wednesday (no, neither had a no-hitter, but they allowed only one run between them). Still they didn’t do much to enhance their chances of pitching in October.
“I’m not auditioning anybody here,” Randolph said. “Dave Williams could be 5-0, but I’m not going to go, `Hey, he’s 5-0, I’ve got to get him in.’ I might, but…
“That,” the manager said of the postseason, “is a whole different animal, a totally different situation.”

lastings how he was named. his mom was giving birth to him and that was the lastings she remember

Anthony Reiber: Sir, you are incorrect regarding your facts about Met no-hitters.
The last no hitter occurred...on this blog. when Mr. Met tried to ask Zoe out on a date and was crushed like a grape under the foot of an elephant.
We were all witnesses.
It was like watching a horror film.
Frank D Mr. Met that old stump hound never asked me out on a date. However, he did invite me over to his house to watch him toss the salad. He said he likes to eat,drink and be Mary.
Dave Williams is just like old "righthanded" Bobby Jones of the Mets. You see him pitch and you think: wow this loser obviously has no friggin talent.
But yet, there he is.

Help us get Bobby back on the hall of fame ballot.
Always puzzling that the Mets who had in their primes Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Jerry Koosman, Jon Matlack, Dwight Gooden, andDavid Cone have never had a no-no. Call it the curse of Jimmy Qualls.
Fresno Bobby Jones or Jersey
Bobby Jones?
Jimmy Qualls?
Wow... MT.
Now I know for a fact--
you are as old as dirt.
Pops gave me a copy of "The Perfect Game" when I was 10.
Facing Hank Aaron and wiffing him, then Hank hits a bomb his next at bat.
Gil Hodges, his demands, being a professional.
Gerry Grote, the preseason fishing trip.
Wiffing the last ten padres with a shadow across the mound.
10 innings pitched in Game 4 of the 1969 WS, and
Jimmy friggin Qualls.
59,000 screaming crazy fans....Suddenly in one moment you can hear a pin drop on that July night.
Thats baseball.
FRESNO.
JERSEY JONES WAS JUST A HOODLUM.
DIDN'T HE CHALLENGE BOBBY V. TO A FIGHT?
CAN I GET A FRONT ROW SEAT FOR THAT ?
I DID MEET BOBBY V. IN THE CRAPPER AT HIS RESTAURANT. AT THE MOMENT, I JUST DIDN'T THINK IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO ASK FOR AN AUTOGRAPH.
I JUST SAID "HI BOBBY".
I FELT LIKE AN IDIOT.

the lastings i remember is him dropping a ball in right field.a jewerly clad bum

MT,MR.MET,FRANK D AND ALL OTHER RETARDED POSTINGS BY ANONYMOUS ARE BY THE SAME DORK.
KC, METS ARE ABOUT TO WIN THEIR DIVISION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME.
OH, AND I REALLY LIKED YOUR SUNSHINE BAND WAY BACK IN THE 70'S.
YOU WERE INCREDIBLE.
Mike Visosky: Oh you are the monster of this blog right now fella. Your energy is off the charts! But you forget. If you are gonna jump on the bandwagon, don't make a fool of youself, become a Yankee fan and I will take you and all other bloggers with me to the promised land.

JAMIE MOYER:
SEPTEMBER 8TH START--
8 IP 5 HITS 1ER 4 K
METS SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIM.
PERIOD.
El Duque finally got his era under five....this can only be "a sign" that THIS REALLY IS THE MET'S SEASON!!!! Next up, a cure for cancer! Then later, Mr. Met gets a date!
Trachsel once again proves that he's "fools gold" with his 14 wins...he cant be trusted in the post season.
Poppy, if you can't trust Steve Trachsel, then who in hell are you planning on trusting? The good news is that the pen is solid and those arms seem to be peeking.That is the Mets #1 importance for a playoff series.
The 1-4 starters are veterans, their best asset seems to be their experience in pressure. Honestly that may be their only asset at this moment.
In Trachsel we trust (and pray).
The 1-4 starters are done,checks the records over the last two months you stat freaks.Mets will go quietly and Willie gets thrown under the bus.
