Blog: Phillies Fans React to Santana Trade

well, now this is rich…

In a post to the excellent Phillies blog, Beer Leaguer, Jason Weitzel writes the following in response to news that the Mets had acquired Johan Santana from the Twins…

“The sounds of our “small splashes” never sounded so small. This is a tidalwave, causing a flood that will submerge the rest of the National League East for six or seven years. Baseball’s best pitcher belongs to the Mets, set to anchor the rotation for years to come while canceling out our best hitters head-to-head…Introducing the winner, and new champion, of the 2008 off-season, and possibly much, more more: Johan Santana and the New York Mets, who’ve stuck it right up the Phillies’ butts.”

…wow…where’s Jimmy Rollins when you need him, jason…by the way, the comments that follow are equally as priceless
