By the fifth, I was thinking, "Well, if we miss out on the playoffs, but get a no-hitter here, I'd almost call it a wash." No freaking way. Oh, I would have. I just mentioned to someone last week or so: Mets never had an MVP or a no hitter, and I really thought that I was gonna finally see an Met MVP. And truth is, I'd prefer to see the no-no go down even more. Baseball is such a funny game. I feel Wright has pretty much fallen out of the MVP race (he could change all that tomorrow, but he'd have to something pretty amazin') and I would have just been on cloud nine for the winter if Maine did that other thing today. If the post season and the MVP got pissed away, and we got that no hitter today, I would have embraced it and it would have sustained me.
