SANTANA!

It was all Santana tonight. Let me tell you; we have had some horrible ninth innings lately. This one was sublime! Hit, error, Jerry to the mound, Jerry back to the dugout. Great play by Ike, ground out. GAME OVER!

Home run. three hit shutout.

Santana reminded us all why he's the ace. Not only did he pitch great (and hit a home run); but he showed some real competitiveness and grit. There was no way Jerry was taking him out. This was such an encouraging game. a great game. Reyes is back, santana is back and all is well in Metsville.
