Mets Opening Days: 2000-2007
The Mets will hold a press conference tomorrow at 1:15pm to introduce Johan Santana at Shea. Eight days later, their new ace will report to Port St. Lucie for spring training. Forty-five days after that, Santana is likely to take the mound for the first time as the Mets open their 2008 season in Flor...
Twins Pick Up Hernandez
Long-rumored to be the backup plan should the Mets fail to land Johan Santana, Livan Hernandez has finally found his team: The Minnesota Twins. The deal will be for one year and in the $5 to $6 million range. Ken Rosenthal reports that incentives could bring that value up to around the $7 million he ...
Blog: Johan or No Johan
In his blog for ESPN.com, Buster Olney compares Twins GM Bill Smith’s effort to trade Johan Santana to the popular NBC game show Deal or No Deal.
In his analogy, according to Olney, the million-dollar and the $750,000 cases are unavailable to Smith, ‘who only has what he regards as subpar...

Johan Santana has been under the microscope this entire offseason. It has been noted on numerous occasions - and quickly dismissed - that Santana didn’t exactly look like an ace during his final seven starts in 2007, compiling a very un-Santana-like 5.11 ERA. However, this is the first time I...

Jerry Manuel has officially named pitcher Livan Hernandez as the fifth starter for the Mets. The news was announced moments ago on SNY's Daily News Live.
On Friday, Manuel hesitated and refused to say whether Livan had won the job, but based on many factors Hernandez it was obvious that Hernandez had done enough to prove he was most deserving of the job.
Hernandez was tied with Johan...

10K: Rarer Than A Walk-Off Win
Didn't realize this until just a few moments ago (thanks, Baseball-Reference), but Johan Santana's 10+ strikeout game was the 300th REGULAR SEASON double-digit strikeout effort by a pitcher in franchise history. They've also had 3 such efforts in postseason. So we've had 47 fewer such games than we'v...
Like Stripes On the Fur Coat of a Tiger - 02/04
When Miguel Cabrera signs a long-term contract, it's going to be a big one. How big will it be? Lynn Henning ponders that question in the Detroit News, tossing out figures like six years and $125 million. Considering that Johan Santana just inked a near-$140 million deal, I'd be...
Deal or No Deal
This is merely a placeholder for some serious bliss if, as reported, the Mets have acquired Johan Santana. To be a total Nervous Nelly, I will wait until the extension is signed, the physical is passed, and Johan is at the podium, donning the colors and breaking in that stiff, new cap. I am loath t...
Daniel Carter signs with Perpignan in France
Perpignan have ended month's of speculation about the imminent move of All Black flyhalf superstar Dan Carter to France. Carter will join the club in the approaching season under a 'sabbatical' arrangement approved by the New Zealand Rugby Union.
Carter, regarded as the best No. 10 in world rugby, will join Perpignan after the All Blacks' tour to Britain in...

Vargas Gets The Call...Again
David Lennon at Newsday, writes about Oliver Perez on the DL and Jason Vargas taking his place:Perez was scratched from Sunday's start in Philadelphia because of a stiff lower back, but the Mets still considered using him at some point this week. In the long run, however, it made more sense to put hi...

Game 3: Mets 10, Cardinals 0

Yanks should say no thanks for Santana
By the time 2008 rolls around, the Johan Santana Rumor Mill will get cranked up again.
The latest bit of speculation is that Minnesota would accept a package of Phil Hughes, Melky Cabrera and Jeff Marquez for their lefty ace. I’m sure that sounds acceptable to many fans.
