A nice win. Santana must feel cursed.

From the AP via ESPN:

Santana, just 9-7 in his first season with the Mets, left with a 3-1 lead in the eighth. It was the sixth time in 24 starts this season that Santana came out with a lead and failed to win, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, and in six of those the collapse came in the ninth inning. He has seven no-decisions, and in six of those allowed three runs or fewer.

What?! Friggin ridculous.

Anyway, D Wright redeemed after his atrocious outing yesterday.

And the ribs in today's game came from Murphy, Nick Evans, and Wright. Home grown run production, folks!

Looks like Wags must hate Johan. Not sure how many of those 6 9th-inning blown wins are on Billy Billy Billy, but it must be most of them.

Would anyone blame Johan if he went on a chainsaw rampage and hacked up the entire bullpen?

I sure wouldn't...in fact, it sounds like a pretty good idea...

Johan would be in Cy Yong contention right now if the pen didn't suck so bad--think 15-6 and the ERA would be a bit lower w/o all those inherited runners scoring.

Oh, well.
