Johan Santana to be skipped in Nationals series

Sure he is fine.  Santana says he is fine that is what he said the other day right?  He was throwing in the outfield before the Mets -Cubs game on Saturday but now  ...  No Santana on Tuesday.   Musical Gee I mean chairs. Look for Dillion Gee to get the call on Tuesday now instead of Santana . Below are quotes from Johan from Adam Rubin. If the Mets were in a hunt they would probably let him pitch but since they are going no where they dont want to see Santana get to a point where he will have to shut it down for the season. 

 "If this was a different situation, no question, I'd be pitching," Santana said. "I know what pain feels like -- believe me -- and this is not even close to what it was back then. But I understand they want to be very careful. If that's the right thing to do, then we'll do it."

Santana threw a light bullpen session Sunday at Wrigley Field and said the muscle felt "all right," although he acknowledged a game would be more strenuous. 


"It's a decision that they want to be very careful with everything, and I'll agree with it," Santana said. "I'm a competitor, and every time that I have a chance to go out there, I'm going to go out there. But, at the same time, it's a decision they made and I'm not going to go against it."
