Sam Borden wrote a nice column for SNY.tv about what Johan Santana’s 25-pitch bullpen session means, and the optimism it brings to Mets and their fans. He writes:
There is still nothing more pleasing for the Mets fan than seeing Santana back healthy. Nothing more pleasing than seeing their star with a smile on his face.
At the absolute minimum, he’s something exquisite to watch every fifth day, a distraction from the frustrations of losing. At the absolute pinnacle, he’s the lynchpin of a miracle run.
Right now, he’s just possibility. Optimism. Hope. That might seem crazy to some people, and maybe it is. But at the end of a long, hard winter, six minutes can feel like so much more.
I’m with Sam. And there’s something about Santana that seems to bring out the liveliest language.
When I think about the Mets’ offseason and outlook for 2010, I am gloomy. When I think about Santana pitching, I am happy. He makes me excited to watch baseball again.

2010 Mets slogan changed from “We Believe…” to “Johan Santana to pitch every fifth day”.
I think it’ll be good for business, and probably more accurate.
Ted, remember that he will be the only bright spot to the 2010 Mets and maybe a few surprises of major league talent from time to time from the rest of the team. LONG LIVE THE JOHAN!
News flash New York Mets of the National League residing in Major League Baseball. Every day your suppose to compete like Major League Baseball players. The difference is you get played to play baseball, We pay to watch and the last few seasons there hasn’t been much to watch on our end except for Johan Pitches. Every 5th day I believe is the new slogan.
Sorry, that was such a awesome and classy rip and the word played is suppose to be Paid, Damn net books.
