Seems like a lot of writers wrote off Johan Santana in their
preseason forecasts, saying the ace was aging and injured, and we’ve seen his
best days.
Looks like Johan has something to say about that.
Santana went the distance to shut out the Padres 9-0,
getting more dominant as the game went on.
Now, to be fair, Santana must think he has to pitch a
complete game shutout to sniff a win, given the Mets lack of scoring when he’s
on the hill and our shaky bullpen.
But the bats were out in force on Saturday, with Scott
Hairston launching a three-run blast, Vinny Rottino getting his first Major
League homer and Mike Nickeas smacking a grand slam.
Normally we’d proudly hoist the Victory Flag to celebrate
this accomplishment, but Old Glory gets the spot of honor on Memorial Day
Weekend.
