No Hit 'Til the Sixth
A special shout-out goes to Steve Trachsel of the Mets, who pitched last night for the first time this season. Trachs had himself back surgery during spring training to fix a herniated disk, and pitched a gem. He had a no-hitter going until there were two outs in the sixth, and he pitched eight innings of shutout baseball. The Mets won 1-0 for their fifth straight victory.
The Mets have themselves six quality starting pitchers at the moment, which is a problem most teams would like to have.
New Met and former Cyclone Mike Jacobs went hitless for the first time in his five major league games.
Now that they're a game-and-a-half out of the wild card race, and only four games off the lead, the bastards are giving me hope. I hate it when they do that.

They dropped two of three to the Jints this weekend. Still got hope? The next two weeks could very well be decisive. Take a gander at their schedule. It's all or mostly NL East teams, most of which are vying for the Wild Card spot. I just don't think the Mets have the horses to get the job done. I'd be delighted to be shown otherwise.
Yeah, I tend to think that all those NL East teams are gonna beat the shit out of each other, and Houston wind up the wild card team.
I can't stand that Roger Clemens.
I do have hope for this scenario: the entire NL East ends up above .500; the entire NL West ends up below .500. Good times.
