After a frustrating 3-2 loss yesterday where Johan Santana pitched well and gave up three runs over six innings, Johan called out his team saying that “All I can say is that I am doing my job. Other than that, there’s nothing else I can do. I can’t go out there and do the things that my teammates have to do.”
While Johan has a point (and it is frustrating to see him drop to 7-7 and have one of the best ERAs in the league, he continually loses games 2-1, 3-2), Johan can also be part of the solution and rally his teammates in the clubhouse, on the bench, and in the media.
The Mets have fallen apart and are airing their dirty laundry in the media. Time for the Wilpons to clean house and fire Omar, trade some players and start with a clean slate.
