Congrats to Chris Capuano for giving Mets fans something positive to remember from this season.
Friday night he pitched one of the best games in Mets history: CG shutout, 2 hits, 0 BB, 13 K's, on 122 pitches. Only one man reached 2nd base--on a 2 out double.
Capuano adds his name to the list of great performances: Seaver's 19 K game against the Padres, Bobby Jones's (the white one) Game 4 one-hitter against the Giants in 2000, and Aaron Heilman's imperfect perfect game against the Marlins (leadoff hit, runner erased on double play, perfect from there on).
A tip of the hat to you sir--welcome to the club...which mostly consists of guys that make most fans say "Who?"

Forgot about the Heilman game. This was actually a good post. I remember when this blog used to have posts like this. Before the Wilpons, Omar, and Jerry conspired to kill the franchise.
BTW, what Terry Collins has done with this team has to be one of the best managing jobs I've ever seen. This team should be 20-under .500, easily.
