THANK GOD WE PAY THE NATS THIS WEEKEND…. Not that I’m overly confident we can sweep them given our piss poor 6-9 start, but I think they’re a pushover compared to the Cardinals who pretty much kicked us in the Pujols(Poo Holes)… Tonight we have Johan Santana on the mound who has been brilliant this season while only surrendering 1 run in 19 2/3 innings. He will be facing former Florida Marlin Scott Olsen(0-2, 9.00) Santana went 3-0 with a 2.57 ERA in three starts against the Nationals (3-11) last season while Olsen holds a 5.52 ERA in eight starts against the Mets since posting his only win against them April 30, 2007.
I’m confident we will take tonight’s matchup, but I think the rest of the weekend will be a true test of where we stand as a franchise. We can enter next week a .500 ballclub or we can stay in good company with the Nats while entering a tough couple of weeks against the Marlins, Phillies, Braves and Phillies again. This is the time for the starting rotation to pick things up. Spring Training is long over and it’s time to put on our game faces for the rest of the season.
