I can't believe how little run support Santana gets. Luckily 3 was enough today.

the Mets find a way to win. Nick Evans with a key hit. To keep going that is what we will continue to need from unlikely sources.

Evans has really surprised me. At Buffalo he was hitting .097 (yes that's NOT a typo :biggrin: ) and was farmed out to AA. They recalled him directly from AA , where he was hitting something like .280 , to the Mets.

Carpenter completely outpitched Johan but kudos for our guy bouncing back after struggling in the early innings. Big break was Carpenter deflecting a DP ball that if the play is made, we may have got shutout by him.

Good win though. This team does not quit. I imagine the price of getting a bat is too high right now but still expect us to add one at some point.
