Off Topic: CC was EZ for the Brewers

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 20:06:54 +1900

The Brewers trade for CC Sabathia took, by my guesstimates, well under five days to start and end. Mets fans, on the other hand, had to wade through months and months of speculation and non-news before the team finally landed Johan Santana. If only it was that easy, right?

Bats Stay Santana's Stumble: Angels 9, Rangers 6

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 13:46:00 +1900

At some point, one of the commenters on Halos Heaven was talking about the game's Panther, this in the fourth inning or so, and it always seems meet to keep one's mouth shut about such stuff because you never know how things will go in Texas, especially with that offense. Ervin Santana was good enough to get the win, but he wasn't by any stretch of the imagination Good, raising his ERA from ...

Has Johan Santana Gotten Worse?

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 13:48:12 +1900

Johan Santana's 2.96 ERA obscures the fact that he is not as good of a pitcher as he used to be. Is anything wrong with Johan Santana? Some writers were asking the same thing last year at this time, only to see Johan rebound with another excellent second half, culminating in a dominant performance against the Texas Rangers on August 19, giving up two hits over eight innings, ...

An early July look at the new Twins GM’s first off-season. On October 1 st , 2007, Twins general manager Terry Ryan stepped down after 13 years at the helm of the franchise. Ryan was widely acclaimed for his shrewd trades and commitment to player development, allowing the franchise to compete annually in the first part of this decade despite being hamstrung by stingy owner Carl ...

By acquiring C.C. Sabathia , the Brewers might have the best starting pitcher in the National League. (According to reports, the deal has been agreed upon in principle, with paperwork and medical records standing as the final hurdles). No NL starter can match Sabathia's combination of stuff and results, except perhaps Johan Santana . Sabathia is currently on a tremendous run that rivals ...

When the Circus Comes to Town (Again): Phils-Mets Game 1

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 11:37:00 +1900

The date many Phillies fans have had circled on their calendars has arrived—the Mets and their jorted masses are here to invade Citizens Bank Park once again. We all know the epic fiasco that is the current Mets team, but as much as it pains me to say this... they're still within striking distance and nowhere near ready to call it a season at the halfway point. However, although this will be ...

Santana keeps getting aced out -

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:25:14 +1900

The boxscore line looks presentable. It usually does. Shoot, the way Johan Santana began Saturday's game, we thought we might get a run at Tom Seaver's and David Cone's team record of 19 strikeouts in a game. Yet once again, if you stood on the Mets' side of the aisle Saturday, baseball's highest-paid pitcher left you wanting more. Andy Pettitte, the man whose return to pinstripes last ...

The Sky Is, Um, Not Falling

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 07:20:36 +1900

So I had the dubious pleasure of catching a little WFAN (that's the Mets sports talk radio) while doing errands on Saturday afternoon, and there's really something marvelous about the transparency of the formula. You see, on Friday night, the Mets lost with Johan Santana on the mound against Phillies farmhand J.A. Happ in a tight game... and in the overreaction world that is sports talk ...

That Could Have Been More Fun Than It Was

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 11:37:00 +1900

Well, that one might be shown as a future episode of Phillies Classics. The rain didn't really show up (I had visions of Gavin Floyd, Xavier Nady and Aaron Rowand), but neither did the Mets' bats. Johan Santana showed up all right, pitching a dazzling game ... with the exception of that sixth inning. For all his wonderfulness, Johan seems to have these occasional mini-Leiter episodes, ...

Santana isn't perfect, says so himself

Johan Santana: "All I know is that they brought me here to do a job and help the team and I have given them my best. It seems like every time I pitch I have to be absolutely perfect, or else we lose. I’m not perfect."

Giving up on the Mets?? Not me, not yet

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 18:44:04 +1900

Last night's 7-1 drubbing by the Cardinals could be explained by any one of: terrible, awful, disaster, gross, boring, ugly...so on and so forth. I've heard many claims for trades to go down, to start selling the farm and some major leaguers in return for prospects with talent and futures. Not me, not yet. And here's why...
