Mets and Johan Stunned as Yanks Hammer Out Revenge on MetsFanClub.com
The last sentence of our previous post this morning warned the Yankees about facing Johan Santana. I guess we weren't stern enough because the Bronx Bombers thoroughly hammered him into submission and showed MetsFanClub that blind faith in their All-Star lefthander may need to be re-thought.
Santana followed his previous bad outing with a worse one, allowing a career worst nine runs to the Yankees en route to their 15-0 dismantling of the Mets, the most lopsided win in Subway Series history. The Mets had one good chance to get at Yankees starter A.J. Burnett, loading the bases with no one out in the third. No one scored, and the loud sound everyone in New York heard was the simultaneous turning off TVs by Met fans after the third out was made.
I guess if you're looking for excitement it had to happen before the game even started when KRod shouted at Yankees reliever Brian Bruney in left field during batting practice. The two had to be separated by teammates, one day after Bruney and Rodriguez exchanged heated insults through the media.
So, let's recap the weekend. The Mets lose in the worst way possible, then get hammered and completely embarrassed with a 15 run shutout, but take a middle game that no one expected them to win. Why don't I feel bad? Perhaps it's because Boston beat up on Philadelphia? Perhaps it's because all players will tell you it's easier to come back the next game after a blowout then by losing a heartbreaker? Perhaps it's because I really think the Mets can sweep the Orioles in Baltimore up next?
Who knows?... there is no logic when it comes to being a Met fan!
