Ahhhh……Perhaps it is I who should put down the crack pipe, and maybe I would be able to read more clearly.

If you look at Santana’s game logs from last year, he only gave up more than 4 runs like 4 or 5 times.

Of his 13 losses, 9 of them were 1-0, 2-1 losses.

The Mets average over 5 runs a game last year.

If the averages hold up (they never do, but hypothetically) Santana could conceivably go 30-5 if he makes 35 starts…

theoretically….

The question isn’t “how many games will Santana win”, it’s “Santana’s wins + no-decisions in which the Mets win”. 25 isn’t unreasonable.

That 17-16 figure really shows just how bad an offense the Twins had last year!

Some Mets fans need to put down the crack pipe. 25 plus wins doesn’t happen very often. In fact I can’t remember anyone doing that in my life time.

I’m suspecting it’ll be right around 25, but what do I know?

Looking at the thing, I thought it said, “How many wins do you think Johan Santana will have for the Mets this year?” I think he’ll have 22 wins, and unfortunately, I didn’t read the question. So, I put “Between 19 and 22.” :o I meant to put “Between 25 and 29.” *smacks forehead*
