Currently: Flushing, NY
Temp: 57° F
The New York Mets appear to finally be producing offensively when Johan Santana(notes) takes the mound. The ace probably wishes they would shore up the defense as well.
Santana looks to win a third consecutive start Wednesday night and help the Mets complete a three-game sweep of the hapless Washington Nationals.
The Mets (25-20) have provided Santana (6-2, 1.50 ERA) with 12 runs of support to help him win his last two starts. That’s one more run than they managed in his first seven outings of the season, when he went 4-2 with a 0.78 ERA.
New York is among the worst defensive clubs in baseball with 35 errors, 12 of them coming in Santana’s starts with seven in his last three.
“After a mistake or error, you try and bounce back and get the next guy,†Santana said.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner overcame three errors Friday, allowing three runs – two earned – and seven hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings of a 5-3 win at Boston.
“It’s just another impressive performance for him,†Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. “I do hope at some point we play a real, real crisp game behind him.â€
Lately, the Mets have been better defensively, winning three of their last four games without a miscue to match their longest streak of the season. They did it again Tuesday, and got a complete game from Livan Hernandez(notes) to beat Washington 6-1 after taking Monday’s series opener 5-2.
The complete game was the club’s first since Santana threw a three-hitter in a 2-0 win over Florida on Sept. 27.
New York has won 10 of the last 13 meetings with the Nationals (13-32), including five of six at home. However, the club hasn’t swept them in a three-game series since April 15-17, 2008.
Since joining the Mets in a five-player trade from Minnesota prior to the start of the 2008 season, Santana has won all four of his starts against the Nationals with a 2.33 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 27 innings. He beat them again on April 24, yielding one run and six hits while fanning 10 in six innings of a 4-3 victory at Citi Field.
The Mets put All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes and outfielder Ryan Church(notes) on the disabled list Tuesday, and said All-Star center fielder Carlos Beltran(notes) would sit out until the weekend because of a bone bruise below his right knee.
To fill one of the spots, highly touted outfielder Fernando Martinez(notes) was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo. Martinez, 20, went 0 for 3 with a walk in his major league debut.
The Nationals own the worst record in baseball, are have managed only three wins in 17 games since a season-high three-game winning streak May 7-9.
They hope Jordan Zimmermann(notes) (2-1, 5.71) can give them another quality start.
The right-hander, who turned 23 Saturday, allowed two runs and six hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings, while the offense generated four hits in a 4-2, 12-inning loss to Baltimore on Friday.
“He threw the ball very well,†Nationals manager Manny Acta told the team’s official Web site. “He was very aggressive. His fastball has serious life. It showed because he basically manhandled all those lefties. He had a good tempo, good fastball, good slider for him.â€
Despite that solid performance, Zimmermann is 0-1 with a 6.98 ERA in his last five starts after starting the season by winning his first two with a 2.38 ERA.
One of his victories, though, came at New York on April 26, when he gave up one run and six hits in 5 1-3 innings of an 8-1 win.

I have very little (if any) interest in Wrestling (except for the Divas of course) but the son of a close friend of mine went to school with and is a good friend of a professional wrestler. They both went to Ward Melville HS and the wrestler was the Principal’s son. I saw the wrestler only once and I was taken aback by his size. His name is Mickey Foley. Have any of you heard of him?

For all those Manny Acta fans out there, I actually think Washington’s talent is better than its 13-32 record. Granted, their pitching is a bit of a mess but they can hit. And I think the pitching would improve somewhat if they didn’t play even worse defense than the Mets.

Horrible offseason for the gNats. Jacked up their offsense and had way too many outfielders. Ignored pitching. They thought Daniel Cabrera was going to be their Ace. Bullpen is the worst in the league.

5/27/2009-4:09pm at 4:09 pm (UTC -4)
You guys hear what Julian Tavares said about being signed by the gNats? Per Gary Cohen, “Its like being at a bar @ 4:00 in the morning and have no where else to go.” (Or something like that)

Two big IFs: If they can keep the majority of the starting staff together; and
If they improve with time served, their starting pitching with ‘Ace’ Jordan Zimmermann is going to be scary good in say, 2012.
wannybackstra
5/27/2009-4:18pm at 4:18 pm (UTC -4)
Help is on the way for Zimmerman, who likely won’t be their ace when Strasburg arrives as early as next season… or before…
Plus Detwiler is already there and the Nats have a second high draft pick after failing to sign Aaron Crow last year.

I think he will be fine. He looked obviously nervous/excited and that is not a good thing in baseball. He is only 20 yrs old. Three at bats do not make a career. I think he needs to get that first hit out of the way and hopefully he’ll be here to stay.

Thanks dude. There is something very lovable about a team that makes it so easy to hate them.

Gotta respectfully suggest that not seeing the very worst, most negative, and completely superfluous poster in Metsblog history, Rod Kanehl, must surely be in the top five….

Yeah, he would have to be tied with Rod for most useless (or least useful.)

If I bet on that Tampa Bay/Cleveland game from earlier in the week, I would have laughed it off. But, if I bet on that game, then on the Toronto game today (up 8-3 after 7 innings with halladay on the mound – now tied 8-8 in the 10th), I would be very angry. Not that I bet on either game though.

You guys are making everything look so easy. Just click on a division and boom instantly the standings are there. I wonder and believe me Im not trying to defend Matt but does everything get more complicated and harder to do when the volume of people gets very high? If not Matt really didnt improve the fan experience or even care. Nice Job!

Good News I reanacted today’s game on RBI baseball 2 for the NES, and it played out pretty realistically. NYM v. MTL. Sid played the part of Johan and got shoddy defense two errors, one by each middle infielder and gave up 6 runs (4 ER) in 6 innings. Mets trailed 7-3 going into the ninth, got a couple runs of the crappy Mtl bullpen and trailed 7-5 with one out. Pinch hit hr by Teufel to make it 7-6, Kevin McReynolds hits a game tying hr to make it 7-7. Mets win in 10, 8-7. Makes perfect sense.

‘We’ve got the teamwork
To make the dream work.
Let’s Go…Let’s Go Mets!’
Johan on the mound tonight. This is just like back in the mid 80′s when Doc was on the mound. I tried never to miss those games (harder back then when in my area, only games on for free were on WOR on weekends and week games you had to buy Sports Channel-or whatever it was). You just knew when Doc took the mound, you were almost certainly looking at a W. It’s the same thing now with Johan.
