Santana Tagged Up!

So perhaps even better than the Braves’ 10-3 win over the Dodgers yesterday is the Mets and their 5-4 loss to the Cardinals. Here’s why: Johan Santana got tagged for 4 hits, 1 home run, and three earned runs in two innings.

Now I know this is only the Grapefruit League - wins and losses don’t count, and it’s for practice purposes. But someone needs to let Johan know that even though the record doesn’t count, he shouldn’t run around giving up hits and home runs. I mean, the guy could have only pitched to six batters and gotten back to signing autographs and being worshipped.

If it’s not bad enough that Santana got tagged for a big home run, he gave it up to none other than Juan Gonzalez, who hasn’t even played the last two years and had only one at-bat in 2004.  It’s not like he gave it up to Albert Pujols, people.

Total Stats for Santana: 2 innings pitched, 10 batters faced, 4 hits, 1 home run, 3 earned runs, 1 strikeout, 1 induced ground out, and 4 fly outs. ERA: 13.50

Where’s your god now?
