Mets News and Notes: The Mets traveled to Cincinnati after yesterday's game and are off today. The three-game series opens Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. at Great American Ball Park, with Chris Young (3-6, 4.87 ERA) opposing right-hander Mat Latos (10-3, 3.81). The Mets also make a stop in Washington during the two-city trip. "A six-game road trip against the best team in the Central and the best team in the East," Terry Collins said. "Certainly a tough task." Collins reiterated Johan Santana will be fine to start Friday's game in Washington. “He's had one start after being out a month -- or three weeks. Any conversations we have about the future, they're down the road,” Collins said pregame Sunday. “They’re not going to be right now. Again, I think Johan’s shoulder is fine. We’ll take a look after a few more starts and decide how he’s feeling… -- is there any more fatigue setting in? But, right now, according to me -- I haven't talke...

Santana, Mets Demolished in 9-3 Loss To The Braves

Via Mets Merized Online  |  August 11, 2012
In simple terms, Santana did not have a successful return to the mound in a 9-3 loss to the Braves on Saturday evening. Summary Well, Johan Santana made his return to the mound on Saturday evening to the tune of a broken guitar, to be nice about it. He was not technically hit hard, but he was hit frequently as a plethora of singles led to a plethora of runs. Santana lasted just...

Is Johan Santana Becoming A Burden?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  August 13, 2012
With the decline of 2012 New York Mets, many fans have rightfully reset their sights on what the future holds.  Even prior to the trade deadline, when there was still an outside chance of the team turning its free fall around, some fans sought additions for next season, 2014 and beyond.  The notion is sound, but there are multiple situations impeding such moves.  First and foremost...

Decision to rush back Johan Santana leads to a single teardrop

During the last couple of seasons of Omar Minaya’s tenure, the joke went that the Mets had turned into the Kremlin when discussing injuries. Every time a player was injured, it started off as day-to-day and then somehow turned into a season-ending injury, much like how Soviet leaders would start off with a cold and end up dead. The Mets under Sandy Alderson promised to be more...

Johan Santana the next Mike Hampton?

Via The Flagrant Fan  |  August 13, 2012
Comparing Johan Santana to Mike Hampton sounds rather stupid at first glance. First of all, Mike Hampton at his best was never as good as Johan Santana was at his best. But Hampton was pretty darn good in his hay days. Both were rather slight, left-handed pitchers. Hampton was 5'10, 185. Santana is 6'0, 200. Both received huge contracts after their great years and both ran...

Why haven’t the Mets traded Scott Hairston yet?

Via The Daily Stache  |  August 13, 2012
Since the Mets’ 2012 swoon began back in July there have been rumors swirling that platoon outfielder Scott Hairston may be on his way out of New York. Hairston has a career high .352 wOBA this season and is slugging .516 overall. Although he is mostly valued because of his ability to destroy left-handed pitching, he has maintained his power against righties this season. At age...

Should the Mets shut Johan Santana down for the season?

Via MetsZilla  |  August 13, 2012
Saturday night, during the New York Mets 9-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves, starter Johan Santana allowed eight runs in just 1 1/3 innings — matching the shortest start of his career –  in his first start since coming off the disabled list. For those of us hoping a trip to the DL would allow Johan to return to his pre-no-hitter form, we were sorely mistaken as his downward spiral...

Jenrry Mejia pitched five solid innings on Sunday. Jenrry Mejia is starting to settle back into the Buffalo rotation, and continued to do so quite nicely with a 9-3 victory Sunday over the Pawtucket Red Sox. Mejia took the mound in the top of the first for just his third start since being plugged back into the Buffalo rotation. As a reliever this season, Mejia had a 5.48 ERA in 21...
