Johan Santana should be strung up and whipped. He is a dirty rotten scum bag.
I have the Direct TV baseball package, so I decided to watch him pitch against the White Sox, and see if he was actually going to get it together. He had totally sucked at the time, but I felt he had some of the best stuff in baseball, and was going to be a stud. I went out of my way to get him, he was one guy I really wanted. Well against the Sox he goes 3 scintilating innings, gives up 10 hits, 2 walks, 2 HRs, and 7 earned runs. At that point his ERA was 5.60, K/BB of 2.82, BA against of .288, 1 HR every 5.5 innings, and W+H/IP of 1.52. After having seen this game I had enough and I ditched the BUM. I figured it had to be the fault of all you Minnesota lefties :ding: .
I figured, considering how horrible he was doing, no one would pick him up, and I would watch and as soon as he got it going, I would pick him back up. BOY WAS I WRONG. He got snatched up on waivers, and after 2 more bad starts I thought for sure he would get dropped again. NO WRONG AGAIN. The same guy stuck with him, and then he became GOD-LIKE.
13-2
1.66 ERA
0.70 W+H/IP
.143 BA against (which is basically a 4 hitter, with 1.5 walks each and every 9 inning game he pitched)
152 K's, and only 24 BB = 6.33 K/BB
1 HR every 10 innings
11.50 K's/9 Innings
He has been without a doubt the best pitcher in baseball the last 3 months, and is on a streak amongst the most dominating ever in baseball history. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I DITCHED THE SCUM BAG. My only solace is that I knew he was going to be great, even though almost no one else did. Of course I was stupid enough to drop him, so I have no one else to blame, not even you Minnesota lefties :bash: .
