Uh Oh.

Johan Santana is a Met.

Hey Red Sox! Hey Yankees! Thanks for nothing. I thought you all wanted him?

I can imagine the Mets fans are pretty stoked. How do I imagine this? Because I got a ton of text messages from all of them, (how did they all get my number?) many are even taking the day off of work to brag to anyone who will listen.

I'm no stat guy....but this is the 3rd guy in that Met rotation who can deliver 15+ wins....Oliver Hernandez and John Maine being the others? Not bad Met Fans. Now if you can manage to get Billy Wagner to shut his mouth for more than 15 minutes, you're looking good for 2008!

Billy stop talking. Please.

Well Johan, here's what to expect in the NL EAST. The Braves are like ants. You think they're gone, but then they just keep coming back. The Marlins, somehow manage to play "the spoiler" when you need them to lose, they'll win. They're extremely resilient for a team who's payroll is something like 6 dollars a week. Apparently Washington DC has a baseball team? Who knew? (Kidding. I know you guys just went out and signed Johnny Estrada yesterday...congratulations)

Now there's the reigning NL EAST champs the Phillies. The Met/Phils games are fun as is, but with the teams upgrading....they should be a lot more fun.

Vote For Pedro. Feliz.

Don't worry Johan, the fans in Philly are VERY quiet at the games.

Congratulations Mets fans, enjoy this moment, it's not often when one of the best players in the game gets traded to your team.

Johan, Mets Fans, see you in like 2 months.

take care and be good,

TIM and your friends at Philadelphonic
