Johan Santana

First Mets no hitter in their franchise's history. Just struck out Freese to end it.

Good job by him. Great outing. Most pitches he's ever thrown. Against the NL's top offensive club.

What a moment to see.

Fun watching the final few innings. Change up is awesome.

Very fitting that he did it on the change.

The feeling you have as a fan watching your team get no-hit sucks. That was a great performance, though

Congrats to Johan. He deserves it.

So now...he is a HOF? I think three more all-star years make him one.

I'd think he's got to get up somewhere close to 200 wins to be a lock; for a pitcher of his stature to be sitting right now on only 136 at age 33 is sort of amazing. There's probably no way he gets to 200, but he's got to get up near it. If he ends up with a career record of, say, 165-105 and an ERA over 3.50, he's going to be sweating it for a few years.

The sad thing is that throwing the Mets' only no-hitter in history will count way more for the voters than winning two Cy Youngs in Minnesota did.

Congrats to Santana, quite an accomplishment.

Beltran was robbed of a hit by the third base ump, but that's how it goes at times.

Not a HOFer

Agree. Hall of very good.

I'm just glad the Yanks didn't trade for him
