Frenchy, Johan lead way to win: Mets 4, Reds 0

That looked like a game typical of an early-season win.  Johan Santana was brilliant.  The offense got some hits in a row, and the baserunning and defense were on.

Not much to say about tonight’s game.  Good to see Johan finally have a great start.  It’s been a while for him so maybe the start of the second part of the season was a lift.  He’s always been a second-half starter.

Nice to see Jeff Francoeur get off on the right foot.  I liked his line about what Tom Glavine gave him on how to succeed in New York.  If he hustles and plays the right way, the fans will love him.  I think overall he’ll do well with the Mets.  Just has to learn how to take pitches.  It’s easier to teach patience than power.

The bullpen finished up the job.  A nice win for the Mets.  Tomorrow is pretty huge.  Obviously the first half has been immensely disappointing.  At least if you could hit the All-Star break on a two-game win streak, (if you can call that a streak) it’s something to hold your hat on.
