Mets Were Not Hit by Chris Heston of the Giants Last Night - Good Omen?

Since I left work at 6:00 last night, I didn't get home until 7:30. I ate dinner and watched a recording of Jeopardy. It was just after 9 PM and I noticed that the Mets had not gotten a hit in the 7th inning. I absolutely had to watch as no hitters are still rare. Either rookie pitcher Chris Heston was very good or the Met hitter stank. He did get a no hitter.

Story from ESPN

It was the 7th time in their history that the Mets were the victims of a no hitter and the first since 1993. Gary Cohen said that it was the first time the Mets had been no hit since 1969 when Pirate pitcher Bob Moose did the honors. A few days later the Mets clinched the National League East title and later won the World Series. Could this be a good omen that in a year that the Mets were no hit at home they win it all? Time will tell.
