Read: Santana Takes Mets to Another Level

At ESPN.com, Jayson Stark says that after watching Johan Santana dominate the Phillies last night, it hard not to wonder what if is he was with the Mets down the stretch last season.

…seriously, do we need to bring up last year in every story jayson…thankfully he does move on…

However, Stark does bring up a question that’s not so academic:

“How much of a difference might Johan Santana make this season in the life of the NL East? Well, it’s still about five months too soon to answer that one. But Santana gave quite the spectacular sneak preview Friday in a 6-4 Mets victory in which the score — and his final pitching line — bore no relationship to how dominating he actually was. For seven innings, Santana carved up the Phillies, dialing up a 10-strikeout, zero-walk two-hitter that was ridiculously efficient.”

…traditionally a slow starter, johan has looked pretty darn good so far…i can’t wait until he heats up along with the weather…

…by the way, I will be setting up shop in parking lot N if you are coming down to the game today…come by and say hello…
