NEW YORK -- No no-no for R.A. Dickey.  Major League Baseball has
upheld the official scorer's ruling from Wednesday's game
against the Rays, denying the Mets' quest to have Dickey join
Johan Santana as the only pitchers in franchise history to toss
a no-hitter. Santana pitched his gem on June 1.  "It was nice
that the Mets wanted to do it," Dickey said of the appeal. "It
wasn't ever my idea in the first place. But in truth, I'm fairly
relieved that it ended up the way that it did."  The Rays' only
hit in Wednesday's 9-1 Mets victory came in the first inning,
when third baseman David Wright unsuccessfully attempted to
barehand B.J. Upton's slow roller down the line. Within seconds,
Tropicana Field's official scorer ruled it a hit.  Dickey set
down the next 22 batters, keeping the Rays off the basepaths
until Wright committed an actual error in the ninth. The
knuckleballer struck out 12 and did not walk a batter, running
his record to 10-1 with a 2.20 ERA.  After the game, Mets vice
