If you are a true fan of the game of baseball in New York, last night was awesome. Not like when the Rangers were playing and weaver threw one but Johan did what many before have failed at repeatedly. The best part is it couldn't have been written better.
A guy coming off major shoulder surgery. A guy that they were talking about trading because the didn't know if they could afford him. A guy that goes out there and gives you everything every time he pitches. A guy that couldn't deserve it more.
As a Yankee fan I'll tell you, I wanted Johan the. And I wished they would have traded Burnett for Johan at the beginning of this season. The guy is a bulldog. Never gives up and will figure out how to get you out weather he's throwing 95 or 75.
I have to admit, I kind of believed it might never happen. So many Ex-Mets have done it, it was starting to get comical. But it happened and it was awesome.
Now if your sitting there saying "how can a Yankee fan be so happy for the Mets" then your not a fan of the sport an your an ignorant ass. No hitters are special and especially for a team that has never done it. Never ha one in 8020 games played. As Americans we are almost programed to route for the underdogs. An this is a true underdog story.
Finally I need to say, there is something to this team. It's a team that doesn't know they aren't supposed to be this good. It's a team that doesn't know they were picked last by everyone in the world to finish in this division. The entire season for the Mets can be summed up by one catch. A Native Queens kid, Mike Baxtor, diving to save the no hitter, hurting himself and sacrificing himself for the good of the team and the cause sums it all up. Congrats Johan. Well deserved
