The New King of Queens


Tomorrow, Johan Santana will be introduced at Shea Stadium as the newest Met. This deal the Mets made, in my opinion, will land them in the 2008 World Series. Now I am obviously biased, being a big Mets fan, but I truly believe this puts the Mets over the top. Can they beat the best teams in the American League, I'm not sure, but if you get to the World Series, then anything can happen. Since 2003, Santana ranks 2nd in wins, 1st in ERA, 1st in innings pitched and 1st in strikeouts. And I believe that being in the National League will only increase his statistics being able to pitch to a pitcher probably at least 100 times this year. In fact, he may strikeout 300 batters this year thanks to the switch in leagues. It's a very exciting time to be a Mets fan.
