Chamberlain making Hank Steinbrenner look like a genius

So here it was, the matchup that Hank
Steinbrenner wanted from the day he was talked out
of trading for Johan Santana. Boss Hank would tell anyone who would listen that Joba Chamberlain would be the Yankees' Josh Beckett.
The next Johan Santana had a terrible start
to the 2008 season. I should know; I drafted
him. When Liriano was sent down to the minors, I had to cut him because my league has no bench. I picked him up over the All-Star break expecting him to be called up, but he is still sitting down in the minors. Why?
With six days of baseball after the All-Star
Break, the author had a lot of ideas, but
none deep enough to fill an entire column. Here are some more random musings… Just saw The Dark Knight… It was one of the better movies I’ve seen in years. It totally lived up to the hype. In my opinion, it transcended the genre of “comic book movie.” It was an insanely intense crime movie, ...
This was the Mets' opportunity to make a
statement against the Phillies. Johan Santana did his part,
but when Jerry Manuel handed the game over to the Mets bullpen, what could have been the beautiful story turned ugly at Shea Stadium. ...
NEW YORK -- The sun still hasn't come

All the money in the world doesn't make
up for the fact that the Mets continue to
waste first class pitching by Johan Santana.
The questions are endless. Why did Jerry Manuel
lift Johan Santana? Why didn’t Endy Chavez stop at
third? Why didn’t Jose Reyes throw to first? Where was Billy Wagner?
The Big Board is a moderately helpful tool
that can be used as a draft kit or
to help determine the validity of a trade proposal. I've used it before, but theres always a few rankings that must be there as a result of drug use...
Last night, the Phillies outsmarted the Mets and
scored six runs in the top of the ninth
inning against the New York Mets bullpen, which squandered an eight-inning, two-run performance from Johan Santana. That got me to thinking: Who is more unlucky, Cole Hamels or Johan Santana?
There are two sides to every coin. On
one hand, I leave Johan Santana out there for
the 9th inning to work his magic. That's why he's getting the big bucks. On the flip-side, I can see why you don't want to run your "ace" out there and run up his pitch count, especially with Pedro Martinez ailing. But, your closer is unavailable, and no one has really shone through as a viable replacement. ...
The Phillies and the Mets are tied for
first in the NL East — with the Marlins
just one game behind, but who counts the Marlins? — and begin a three-game set at Shea tonight. It s just the type of series that is perpetually overplayed — there ...
The Phillies' hold atop the NL East is
in jeopardy starting tonight when they travel to New
York to take on the Mets. This should be a great series filled with interesting storylines, including how Joe Blanton will do in his Phillies debut and how Brett Myers will fare in his comeback. The Mets will be sending their ace to the mound tonight in Johan Santana and he will try to show why the Mets...
Yesterday, I brought you five of the reasons
the Mets wouldn't make the postseason in 2008. Here,

THIS is all the Mets could have asked
for, could have hoped for, back in Game No.

Tonight, Johan Santana faces newly acquired Phillie, Joe
Blanton in the first of a three game series
at Shea Stadium. Since it's the second half, against the Phillies, and both teams tied for first, it's already being outlined that this is the biggest start of Santana's Mets career. It seems to me that if he doesn't take a no-hitter into the seventh and finish with a three hit, complete game, i
OK, THIS IS not as good as it
gets. It ain't love, but it ain't bad, as
the song says. It's not as good as the final weekend of the 1980 regular season, when the Phillies went into Montreal tied for first with the Expos and had to win two of three ...

Hunter and Santana were offered lucrative contracts-the timing wasn't

Usually, I love stuff Peter Abraham writes. It's
usually well thought out and supported by facts. Usually.
The facts your provide tell your story for you, but it's really the facts that he leaves out that show the true argument.
There is no question, none whatsoever, that Johan
Santana would have helped the Yankees this season. There
is little question that Melky Cabrera and Ian Kennedy were probably overvalued during the winter. Maybe Phil Hughes, too. But does anybody ...
The New York Mets went into the All-Star
break riding one of the longest winning streaks in
team history. If the veteran club hopes to play in October, the recent hot streak is going to have to continue, and then some. Winning nine straight before the break has put the Mets a half-game behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets have an 11-2 record in July, and they ...
Johna Santana has his worst start in blue
and orange, lasting a mere four innings and allowing
five runs to score before getting chased. The Mets didn't seem to care. The bullpen faltered, for the first time in 22 innings. The Mets didn't seem to care. Billy Wagner blew the save in the All Star game. The Mets didn't seem to care.
The Mets have been the team that we
thought they could be, finally. Mike Pelfrey has blossomed
into a wonderful pitcher, Johan Santana has plugged away at his consistently wonderful pace, and Olvier Perez has switched his mechanics and seen great results. The bats are back too, as Carlos Delgado is getting on track (maybe), Jose Reyes is on an absolute tear after getting off to a slow start, an
Ok so it’s pretty clear that at least
Mark Lerner doesn’t understand baseball. Which is perfectly ok
