Mets behind Santana take Yanks in game 1


The Mets beat the Yankees yesterday 7-4 behind decent pitching from Johan Santana. I say decent because 4 run via 3 homers is not a good job. He pitched good when he had to and was very aggressive. The Mets only won this game because Andy Pettitte hit the wall in the fourth inning. He was as dominant as you can get in the first three innings. Thank god Oliver Perez starts today. That is 6 runs easy for the Yanks without even trying. Oh and did I mention that our ace is going today. Wang. I see a lot of ground ball outs today. The difference between the two clubs thus far is that the Mets think they are better than what they are and that the Yanks are worse than what they are. Injuries and young pitching has beaten up the Yanks. The Mets are healthy with the exception of Pedro and El Duque who would be hurt anyway. At the end of the season if things continue the way it has for both clubs then both will be watching the playoffs on TV.
