I have nothing more to add other than it was a glorious game. I never thought I would see a Mets no-hitter, now the only thing left in my lifetime to see is a Cubs World Series win. That one won't happen.
The big issue during the game was Santana's pitch count. Any pitcher throwing a no-no gets to pitch beyond his normal count, but when that pitcher is your franchise guy and he's coming back from major reconstructive surgery, the decision is much harder. 134 pitches was a ton for him, wonder if Collins will give him extra days off or skip his next turn. He certainly earned it.
