Dat Hairston powah!
I'll never forget that start years ago where Santana and Richard matched up in PETCO. So frustrating yet a great duel.

Mid-80s temps. Ball is carrying well, but I will say those were no-doubters.

I remember hearing about Santana tinkering with a curve in spring but I never saw him throw it. Gary did say that Santana and Warthen have worked on getting Johan's slider more downward movement.

It might be a cutter. Warthen had been pushing that pitch in spring, Pelfrey and Gee were throwing it too.

Lol, Hairston stumbled after he hit it, Headley stumbled trying to field it and Cabrera stumbled when he did field it.

Jesus CHRIST, Johan. 86 pitches thru 8, 3 hits allowed with 7 K's. It's like he never had surgery.

The Padres are garbage but the Mets really do look like a different team this year. So much for the forecast of last in NL East...

Johan fields the grounder, tags Alonso and the ballgame is over!
4-hit CG shutout for Johan Santana! Mets Buffalo Bisons lineup scores 9 runs and 3 homers! But just an amazing start for Johan, 98 pitches I think. He just started going on normal rest 4 starts ago too. Mets hit their highwater mark of 5 over again, and go for the series win tomorrow on Banner Day!

Bay had one in September last season.

Did he? I guess I've done a good job of purging all memories of Jason Bay from my mind.

They are tied for 4th right now and barely are in not last.
Still a great season though.

Didnt Bay and Beltran have one in the same game.

At this point, people thought Mets would be few games under .500. Been thoroughly impressed with this team. Love Terry Collins, he's been great.

At the moment, tied for 2nd and 2 games back, but that just shows how close the entire division is.
Yeah, against the Tigers.

Ah, the "DESTROY ALL AMERICAN LEAGUE TEAMS" stretch. That run of offense by Reyes/Beltran/Murphy/Turner was amazing.

At least Minor's not taking long to make it clear if he's going to suck shit or not.

Remember when Minor was the next Tom Glavine?
yeah...
yeah...

If we're talking 1988-1990 Glavine, then he's right on.
Pop fly double, walk, weak grounder, lazy fly ball and a fly ball. Pretty good.

On that note, I remember the more straightaway center field camera being a big deal a couple of years ago, but it seems most teams haven't transitioned over yet. Whatever happened with that?
Mr. Enigma

Want to try that again?
