IF pitching Johan Santana on normal rest Thursday afternoon against the much-traveled TBD of the Nationals would put a win in the books, then sign up the person who signs the Mets' lineup card.

A move to the long relief role might be more appropriate for Nelson at this point in the season. Sosa has proven to be useless, time and time again, and the ...(more)
