Mets ornament of the day: There was no question about Johan Santana in 2008

Found December 14, 2011 on Mets Guy in Michigan:
PLAYERS: Johan Santana
TEAMS: New York Mets

Mets_vs_rockies_6234
Lots of talk about Johan Santana being a “question mark” for the upcoming season. I'm not sure what kind of punctuation mark he'd get for 2011, considering he missed the entire season.Well, he'll always be in mid-season form on the Christmas tree.I have a several Santanas on the tree, and one is more interesting than the others. The face could be anyone from Jay Hook to Pat Misch, as Forever Collectibles rarely seems to invest the effort in making the subject of the ornament actually look like the person it is depicting.But check out one of the other details on the figure: The 2008 Shea Stadium final season patch.That's pretty cool. The only time I've seen Santana pitch for the Mets was during that farewell season. Cousin Tim and my parents had the idea to make an epic journey to Shea for one last game, and we watched one of the Subway Series games.More on that in later posts. But I'll always remember watching Santana that day.

MMO Mets Top 20 Prospects – #3 Matt Harvey, RHP

Via Mets Merized Online  |  December 15, 2011
The difference between the #2 and the #3 Top Mets Prospect is so small, you can’t even see it from here. You would need some extreme magnification to see the difference between these two players. And since someone has to be 3rd, I flipped a coin, of course I’m kidding, I studied long and hard. I crunched the number’s, I poured over reams of scouting reports, made...

The Job Behind The Job?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  December 15, 2011
