There is precedent for an official scorer changing a ruling after the game. Used to happen all the time. But I'm not sure if it has been done for a no-hitter. Later

Rubin's minor league report from today: A scout who recently watched Binghamton said there were three definite major leaguers on the Double-A team -- prized pitching prospect Zack Wheeler, Matt den Dekker (who just was promoted to Buffalo) and right-hander Collin McHugh. McHugh (5-4, 2.48 ERA) was described as a “Dillon Gee type.†Said the scout: “He’s going to pitch in the big leagues. For sure.†Later

So I get to work yesterday and someone hands me a message. It says: "Someone called to speak to you. His customer number is xxxxxxxxxx. I couldn't get his name. Bad connection. Call him". So I go into the customer database, and the name of that customer is someone named- Russell Martin. Anyone else get any ribbing from Yankee fans yesterday? Any of it clever? Later
When the Mets got Sammy Taylor in 1962, I thought they got Hawk. (who, IIRC, was a highly regarded prospect) Then, when they got Hawk, I was excited. RIP, Hawk. Later
Wilmer went 2-6 with a walk, a double and 2 RBI in yesterday's 14 inning St. Lucie win. Most significant, he started the game at second base. No DPs, but no errors, either. (Don't know how many chances for each) Later

No, really. Check out the glove in picture # 12. http://www.newstimes.com/local/articleGallery/Local-vintage-baseball-club-a-blast-from-the-past-3622434.php#photo-3052077 Later
Moth-R Fuck-R. The worst part was, well, there were and are going to be a lot of worst parts, letting the rat-faced-boy off the hook. Now I'll have to face an office full of YLDBs tomorrow. Crap! Later

So anti-Yankee. anyway, Josh and Howie got on him a bit at the start. joking about how many times he said 'man' in his Ed Coleman Mets Extra interview and comparing him with a character from ..some movie which sounded like a stoner movie. High Times at something High? Ridgemont High. I don't recall if there were more stoners in the audience or in the cast. Later
