Santana went just 1.1 innings tonight which was the shortest start of his career. After the 9-3 loss Terry Collins discused why he yanked his ace so early. “Obviously he didn’t hit any of his spots. He fell behind in the count and that’s not him.” Not health related at all as Santana just didnt have the command he had in his first two starts. He missed with his fastball up in the zone and [...]

Johan Santana must have got on the bad side of lady luck as he records only four outs in a 9-3 Mets defeat. Summary If you check the box score, you will see a line of 1.1 IP for Santana with 6 R(4 ER), 4 H, and a walk.

Recap Mets are just spoiling us with all this offense including the homeruns. Ike Davis with a three-run homerun to break the game open, and after Jason Bay robbed the Braves of a homerun, hit one himself deep in center field for a solo shot and an insurance run.

The 6-3 Mets are headed to the 5-4 Atlanta Braves tonight, for a re-match of the opening series in which the Braves appeared to sleep through their alarm for the early 1pm games. The Braves got swept in New York, but since then have won 5 of their last 6 games. So we need to be careful with making assumptions about this week’s series. Why? Well for starters, the Braves have Chipper Jones back in [...]

Ike Davis got the Mets off to a quick start with this two run shot in the first inning off Cole Hamels to put the Mets up 2-0 over the Phillies this afternoon at CBP. But that would be all the scoring in the game for the Mets as they fell to Phillies 8-2 Mike Pelfrey started and tossed six innings while working himself in and out of trouble. Luckily, he allowed just one run after allowing [...]
