During last night's game against the Marlins in Florida, they showed the scoreboard when a Met was up at bat.  It had the usual picture of the player and their name, but in the corner there was a picture of Borat giving the thumbs up sign.

What was that about?  When Shawn Green was at the plate, Gary Cohen jokingly said something about how he was surprised that Borat would give him a thumbs up...I assume because of his Jewish heritage but Cohen wisely didn't elaborate.  If only it had come out of Keith's mouth who knows what he would have come up with.

The crazy Kazakh certainly brought the Mets some luck as Maine shut down the fish and D-train got blown up. Great Success!!

Update...

On Thursday night's game Borat was nowhere to be found yet the Mets still pummeled the Marlins again.  I guess they don't need his luck after all.  He must have been off gathering gypsy tears or something.

With Mark Buehrle's no-hitter last night, the Chicago White Sox are tied for the most no-hitters in MLB history with 16.  John Maine had a no no through 6 last night but close doesn't earn you a cigar.

As everyone painfully knows, no Met in team history has ever thrown a no-hitter.  While watching last night's game I jinxed Maine by realizing he hadn't given up a hit then *WHAM* a single to rightfield.

It gets to a point where you wonder if it will ever really happen but hey if the Red Sox can come back against the Yankees three games to none and go on to win the World Series, maybe...just maybe a Met will throw one some day. 

I propose that when it does -  and it will probably be some Anibal Sanchez type of pitcher, Jason Vargas maybe - the Mets should retire their number, have a ticker-tape parade on 5th avenue and construct a statue of them outside of Citi Field.
