Sunday’s Mets News: Santana Won’t Miss a Start
Last night, I had to go to a dinner. I got into the car around 1 a.m. and turned on WFAN, they said that it was tied 1-1 in the Bottom of the 10th. I said, “Oh no. The Mets are going to lose to the Padres 2-1 again.” On the next pitch, Scott Hairston hit a walkoff homer to win the game 2-1. Now that was frustrating.

Church’s situation not encouraging - Marty Noble reported that Ryan Church, “experienced a pulsating sensation on both sides of his head, his situation had reverted to where it had been several times since the concussion, to a point of uncertain prognosis and discussion of assigning him to the disabled list.” I’m very concerned about Ryan. He should go on the DL if he is still suffering symptons. It is a tough blow to this Mets team because he was performing better than everybody else, but the Mets have to do what’s right for their players health.
Johan expects to make next start - Marty Noble reported that Johan Santana, “seemed relatively confident on Saturday that the bruised left shoulder he sustained on Friday wouldn’t prevent him from taking his next scheduled turn in the Mets’ starting rotation on Thursday. “ That’s great news because he’s the last person we need to lose to injury.
