What happened? Did he try to surprise his kids at Christmas and break something?

I’m with the Pouliot strawman you constructed – I think the sky is falling. On Johan Santana.

I get thumbs down when I mention the Mets and their injuries.

I am usually a defender of the Mets, but there is something weird about how this is unfolding. Again. Just like with how many other injuries?

Seems that the way the Mets handle injuries remains strangely adversarial. Yes, there is a likelihood the player involved is being difficult, but when something happens this often, you have to look at both sides.

Sounds like Santana will be pitching sometime this year.

Good thing Poulliet didn’t write this article…he’d have Santana’s career dead and buried by this point.

Nice job of journalistic restraint Mr. Gleeman. Thanks for not resorting to sensational speculation.
