That’s the history they have from not being so good, I guess,” Santana said matter-of-factly near the end of an answer about whether he was surprised by the crowd reaction in his first home game. I took that as a reference to the teams history ... not the fans. Sounds like some people think he was referring to the fans as "not being so good". In other words, I see no reason for any of us to be offended. “If they boo, that’s fine.

Lets not act like those Phillies fans, because they can keep that way of being to themselves. Yes last year was a hard pill to swallow but its in the past, we have to refocus and as fans support our team and let them know every night that we are behind them. Home Field advantage means something at Shea, when that stadium rocks the team feels it, so stop with all the Booing for non sense, and lets support our team.

If he is pitching poorly by the All-Star break than booing is fine, but it was his first home game and 3rd of the season. No to mention he is a notorious slow starter. He generally performs at a mediocre level the first few games of the season. ...booing a pitcher who has won 2 Cy Young awards and should really be 2-1 (honestly, he pitched a complete 7 inning game against the Braves and allowed only 1 ER, I blame that one on the offense, not him) is classless.
