The big three game series against Philly begins tonight with Johan on the mound. Let's give Joe Blanton a nice, rough welcome to the NL East.
Lets go Marlins! It's funny, the team beats mine 2 times in the World Series, but I hate them less than the Phils and Mets.
Anybody else think Santana should have been left in for the 9th? I know it's easy to say in hindsight, but it would not have killed him to throw 20 more pitches.

It was something like Wagner has thrown 100+ pitches in the 8th inning with a chance to go into the 9th for a complete game a total of 88 times. However, he's only actually gone on to pitch in the 9th one of those 88 times. It was something along those lines.
