Funny thing is, all due respect to Johan, I think this was a better pitched game than Johan's no hitter. Dickey is incredible.
I can care less about a shutout, a wins a win. Great game tonight, the Mets killed Price in the end. Gotta believe this team can compete for a wildcard.
I don't want to be hyperbolic, but I'm pretty sure that was the best pitching performance I've ever watched as it happened. Definitely better than Johan's no-hitter. A bummer the streak ends.
Not even close - this was a much better performance. That could have easily been called an error, which as anyone knows happens all the time in potential no-hitters. That is why, of course, anyone who gets worked up about the supposedly "tainted" nature of Santana's no-hitter is a moron.
I wonder if we should start an R.A. Dickey One Hitter thread so Junc can argue till he's Carolina Blue in the face that Dickey's one hitter is tainted because the official scorekeeper "should" have ruled it a hit. Of course he'll create his own rules to justify why both are 1 hitters.
Two no hitters for the Amazin's inless than two weeks Sensational Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2
Ill jump in here since I called Johan's No hitter......Hysterical that this is the opposite...I havent seen the play you guys are talkin about but Ill take your word for it for now. Pretty funny. Amost Bizzare. This Dickey is unreal. I saw those numbers they showed about his last 5 starts....amazing
I'll be perfectly honest - I haven't even glanced at that other thread for about 10 days (and have no intention of doing so), since I couldn't imagine why anyone would care enough to keep talking about it. I'll have to take your word (and Cakes', I guess) about it. I certainly can't understand how anyone can take seriously such a ridiculously pointless question anyway, especially given the plain fact that dozens of no-hitters/one-hitters have controversies related to errors/blown calls/etc.
Matt Cain just pitched a perfect game against the Astros. Several batters had three ball counts in at bats where there were also called strikes - can we be sure that the umpire didn't blow any of those strike calls, tainting the perfect game? I just saw highlights on ESPN, and there is no question that there were some called third strikes that were clearly low or outside.
Cain has been absolutely insane the last 3 weeks, it's tough to decipher who has been better him or Dickey but at least with Cain you expected it. The highlight for me is I have both he and Johan on my fantasy baseball team.
Well the Mets organization is appealing to MLB commissioner that Wright's play should be called an error. So I gues theyre a bunch of morons too right? If you believe what you're typing, then it is fare to assume you think the Mets are a bunch of idiots for this appeal correct? Fair enough.
I certainly wouldn't bother doing it, and I'd be surprised if it goes anywhere. I will also not get all worked up when the appeal fails, as I would expect it will. But if you can't see the difference between the team trying to stick up for one of its own players the next day and a fan of another team being supposedly righteously indignant about a blown call two weeks later then I can't help you. Of course we all know that you're just trolling, which is what my entire point was anyway. The fact that you think that anyone gives a damn about your supposed point is comical, and the fact that you continue to come in this thread with this nonsense is just sad.
