Late Friday night I cried. The emotional impact David Freese's swinging strikeout had on me was so immense that I balled an oasis of tears as I leaped for joy in rejoice of Johan Santana's no hitter. The 51 years have been a series of highs and lows, where it always seemed that the lows outnumbered the highs. But somehow, he did it, they did it. The players were able to execute by making plays, as everyone lacked confidence that they could pull it off, mostly because of who they are, or rather were. The rollercoaster that fans have been on, since the days of Marvelous Marv and The Ol' Perfessor, has caused much heartache and trauma in thousands of fans' lives. This may be a small accomplishment but this may be a start of something truly amazin'.( pun intended)
Johan has always been legit. The lefty craftsman from Venezuela has always brought fame to his #57. When Santana became a Met, people thought the '80s were back. However, fashion from the '80s returned, but the magic of the Mets was never did. There wasn't that special feeling, as seemingly every year the team's quality decreased and every year it hurt more to watch day in and day out. But this year has been different, watching the Mets isn't a punishment, all the egos are gone and other than Wright and Johan, there is no proven superstar and it is just a bunch of young and hungry players. As the great Tim Tebow once said, "Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard." There are so many people working hard on this team that while it lasts, it's going to be fun to watch how the outcome of this season unfolds.
Also, without Mike Baxter or the 3rd base umpire, I wouldn't have anything to write about, so thanks for saving the no-no and fueling me with a topic to write about.

2012 has been a surprise to all and has allowed many New York based fans to ponder the question, "Is this next year?" Although it is only June, if the Mets can sustain the success that they have previously experienced, could it happen?
