Johan Santana did not play in All Star game. Let the speculation begin.

With no games played over a 3 days time span with the All Star game break there has to be things to write about. Well now when you turn on the boobs on talk radio there is chatter that the Mets told the Phillies not to use there ace Johan Santana. Well why you ask? Well of course because he is hurt why else!! This of course according to the radio boys.

Why would they say that unless he is on track to start this Friday and they didn’t want to him to pitch too many pitches in the 1 inning he might have played in last night. The last time during the All Star break Johan was awful in his first start back so they probably just want to keep him in rhythm . Also they did not want him to be pushed backed in his starts so that way he might have 1 less start during the second half of the season.


I mean in that case does it really matter? For the Mets to even win 90 games this year they need to go 48-27 in the second half. It might be touch since none of there big guns are due back right away
