We all know how it ended. The Mets crashed, burned,broke our hearts, and for some of us, our will to live. But there is a new hope, and his name is Johan Santana. Down the Stretch the pitching was horrific, we couldn’t hold a lead even if the opposing team quit after the 7th inning stretch. The only thing the Mets could hold at seasons end was there bag of trash from there lockers. But Johan, marks the turning of the tide. Regarded as perhaps the best left handed pitcher in baseball, Johan is now the king of queens. The Amazing’s locked him up for 6 years at 137.5 million.
The front office isn’t playing games anymore and Willie knows the pressure to win now is guarnateed. With the addition of Johan and perhaps the most potent line up in the National League anything but a trip to at least the playoffs, will constitute the season as a complete failure. Mets fan will not tolerate a loser, and I think this deal sends a message to Mets players and fans, that the time to win is now.
