Great

Missed the game form again. Does it really matter if I fill it out one pitch after the game starts?

Fight J-Roll the A-Holl!

Johan

I think he’s been worse than expected, but only because the expectation were so over the top.

I would say as expected

The 2.91 ERA and 35 K are typical Johan numbers. He’s kept us in the game every start, and deserves to be better than 3-2.

I agree with all that

but Eric used the expectations word so I had to point out how over the top they were.

Yeah

Fairy or unfairly I was expecting 22-9 with around 300 IP and a few game-winning HRs at the plate

Damn

Why is Johan’s pitch count always so high?

offense can cool down now

I don’t think I had them for more than five runs in this one

Santana keeps us in the game

Johan hasn’t exactly lit it up just yet, but the Mets have a chance to win every time he takes the hill….pretty much all you could ask for.

ppd

They should get rained out more often.

I hope they can keep the production up all night…

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
