Matt Harvey Has Become The New Johan Santana
Matt Harvey has become the new Johan Santana of the Mets, and that is not in reference to his skills or his emergence into the staff’s ace.
Harvey has been lights out all season long, and should have at least ten wins under his belt. However despite his 2.04 ERA, Matt Harvey sits at 5-1 on the year, that one loss coming last night after he allowed just a lone run over seven frames...
From Left Field: Would Santana Accept A Minors Deal For 2014?
On Monday night, I watch the replay of Johan Santana’s no-hitter on SNY and was just as captivated as the night I watched it live on television.
But this time around, I kept thinking to myself what could have been with Santana had his Mets’ tenure not been decimated by injuries.
Then I of course looked to the future hope of the Mets’ starting rotation that almost certainly...
Remembering Johan Santana’s no-hitter a year later
It’s been over a year since that unforgettable June day. Ask any Mets fan where they were on June 1st, 2012 and they can tell you. It is a moment that will go down in history: Johan Santana threw the first Mets no-hitter. Now, a year later, what impact does that no-hitter still have?
For the casual fan, it is a moment they will tell their kids and grandkids. It is a day that fans...
You Mad, Bro? Cardinals Got No Hit Edition
As we continue to honor the Johan Santana No Hitter over the Cardinals that took place a year ago today, I was curious about something.
As you might have noticed, our newest writer Susana Crespo has been collecting comments from fans of teams the Mets beat this season. The Yankee fans this past week were quite epic.
So I got to thinking, what did the Cardinals fans think on the day...

Matthew Falkenbury (@DailyStache) It was just my Mom and I watching the game at my house on that Friday evening. My Dad had been in the Hospital since May 12th and it had been hard on all of us. It was supposed to be the return of...
A farewell to Johan Santana
June 1, 2012 is a night permanently engrained in the memory of all Mets fans.
Just like our parents, or grandparents, or even some of us might remember where they were when Kennedy got assassinated, Mets fans will always remember where they were when Johan Santana threw the first no-hitter in franchise history.
For me it was at the Fireplace in Paramus. I was working that night...
BAD NEWS
Johan Santana injures shoulder
The Mets reportedly announced that Johan Santana has a probable re-tear of the anterior capsule in his pitching shoulder. It could be a career-ending injury.
Johan Santana: The Beloved Bust
Johan Santana is entering the final year of his 138 million dollar deal he signed with the Mets back in the 2008 off-season.
For every season he has been apart of the Mets, outside of the first one, he has had to head to the DL. For this last season, his DL trip will be at the start of the season instead of his normal DL trip at the end of the season. In fact, one of the years he...
Did Santana Commit Career Suicide?
HOW MUCH IS SANTANA CAUSE OF HIS OWN PROBLEMS?
When Johan Santana said he doesn’t know when he will pitch again, it isn’t inconceivable it could be never.
Santana’s left shoulder is not getting better and it isn’t unfair to wonder if the prideful or stubborn lefthander – take your pick – may have committed career suicide on March 3, a quiet Sunday that turned into one...
Will Santana be traded even if the Mets are contenders?
This morning on Mets Today, it was discovered that the Mets’ club option on Johan Santana for 2014 will turn into a player option if Santana either wins his first National League Cy Young or pitches 215 innings this season. If one of those two admittedly unlikely events occurs, Santana could choose for the Mets to pay him $25 million in 2014, which would hamper the struggling franchise’s...
