Johan Santana is Human?!?
AHHH THE SKY IS FALLING
WHAT HAPPENED!?!?
3 HOMERS!!!
5 RUNS!!
SANTANA IS A BUST!!!
…
Oh wait, he still has the lowest WHIP on the pitching staff. (Nelson Figueroa doesn’t count!)
This wouldn’t be post-worthy if it weren’t for fans in attendance at Shea BOOING as Santana walked off the mound to the dugout. What the fuck is wrong with Mets fans? And when asked about it, Santana owned all of them:
“If they boo, that’s fine,” Santana said. “That’s a history they got from not being so good, I guess.”
The man’s got a point. He has one bad game — after throwing two gems — and he’s getting booed already. Mets fans are just way too angry and impatient for their own good after the epic collapse last year. The team is .500 even without Pedro, El Duque and Duaner Sanchez, the last of which is a big question mark coming back. The Mets bullpen would be about 150% better with Sanchez in 2006 pre-taxi-accident form.
Getting back to the booing, I can’t believe it happened as the Mets were going for their 4th straight win. Maybe if they had lost their last three games it would make more sense to me, no matter how little, but I mean COME ON. He’s the savior of the Mets pitching staff! Instead of booing, they should be offering him their first born, even after letting up the third HR of the day.
