“Really… again???

So, here we go again… yet another no decision for Johan Santana. Let’s recap on Johan’s last start: August 7th against one of the worst teams in baseball the Padres. It’s top of the 8th no outs, Johan allows 2 singles to both L. Rodriguez and E. Gonzalez. At this point you have to wonder if Santana is “out of gas” but we wouldn’t know that cause they never leave him in long enough to see… Duaner Sanchez comes in relief for Santana. need I remind you the job of a relief pitcher in the middle of an inning should be to get the pitcher prior to him out of a jam. Sanchez Hits the next batter S. Hairston. Bases are now loaded. D. Sanchez leaves after facing his only batter and giving him first base and in comes Pedro Feliciano. Feliciano manages to get a fielders choice out at home. One out A. gonzalez singles and drives in E. Gonzalez (No relation) Now just remember that the run was charged to Johan as I see him frown…

Top of the 9th and yet another Met reliever comes in, S. Schoeneweis relieves S. Smith who serves up a solo shot to J Gerut and with that ball goes Johan Santana’s ability to score the win. Yes another no decision for Johan giving Aaron Heilman another win.
