But when we made it through the second great era of Mets pitchers (after Gooden, Darling, Cone, Fernandez) were all gone, the lack of a no-hitter began to seem more like an interesting quirk than a serious deficiency. The Mets have now defied the odds for almost 45 full seasons. And now, any no-hitter short of a perfect game will seem anti-climactic. Do I really care if Steve Trachsel pitches a no-hitter? Not really. You know, I think the lack of No-hitter for the Mets is more a by product of having the fellow who wound up with more No-Nos than anyone being a Met at the start of his long career. Do Padre fans moan about their franchise never having a no-no?
