We all know how Shannon swears that Colactus left Johan Santana in the game way too long last year for the only No-No in the history of the Mets ball club. I don’t wan’t to rehash my discussions with him but let’s just say I don’t agree with him at all.
But I have found one who would like to counter Shannon’s theory and who am I not to post it here while I am in charge of the site.
From Sparks aka:
My home internet has been on the fritz for a couple of days and didn’t get fixed until a couple of hours ago, so maybe I’m a little late on this by web standards, but it seems that Shannon over at MetsPolice–whose work I otherwise adore, of course–is still playing a defeatist game of “What if?” in regards to Johan Santana’s no-hitter one year ago tonight.
I began typing this response in the MetsPolice comment section, but as I realized a) it was getting a little long-winded, and b) sadly, I haven’t been this fired up about anything Mets-related for a while, I decided it belonged better here. So without any further ado, here’s my response:
Stuff happens.
Shawn goes more in depth into his discussion of Johan and the No-No and the injury on his site.
