It’s about damn time Santana got something for his effort…I can’t tell you how sick my stomach was when he had to be pulled out….

Glad the pen didn’t blow it for him as they have in the past!

I said the following in another post but it was meant to be here.

Congrats to Santana on his 1st win since his surgery. Though the Dbacks seemed to hit Santana well, he managed to scatter the hits enough to only give up 3 runs over 7 innings. Mets end the losing streak and avoid falling below .500 for the 1st time in 2012. On a day where the 2 through 4 hitters go 0 for 11 they manage to score 4 runs.

Positives for me was Santana keeping the Mets in the game while going 7. Torres who has quietly joined the team and simply done what he can to help them win both in the outfield and at the plate where he has a 5 game hitting & RBI streak. Finally the pen for preserving the 1 run lead for a much needed win.

Dickey on the hill 2morrow. Lets take 2 out of 3.

LGM!!!

Anything we get from Santana is a plus this year – especially because I highly doubted he’d even be ready to start the season. Not only was he ready, he’s pitched far better than I thought he would to start.

He gave up quite a few hits yesterday but limited the damage to 3 runs. So 7 innings, 3 runs = a QS – and finally a W for him.
