Only solace for me in yesterday's loss to Atlanta was that I was unable to see the game. Apparently, there was little to be excited about---bad defense combined with the worst start of Johan's career is never a good mix. This is one of those games where you tip your cap to the Braves and move on. It's not one of 16, it's one of 162. I've run out of cliches.. Here are some post game quotes from Game 11 of the New York Mets season (one we hope to forget quickly)
Post Game Quotes of Mets/Braves Game
1) "Nobody goes through the whole year without having a rough outing some time."
--Terry Collins, on Johan's Santana start
2) "The offense in the first and second inning was a bunch of get-him-over; get him-in's--with a huge at bat by Freddie mixed in."
--Matt Diaz, on the six runs scored by Braves in first two innings including Freddie Freeman's eleven pitch double
3) "He fell behind in the count. That's not him; probably something he hasn't experience before."
--Terry Collins, on Santana
4) "I would say we were probably a little more anxious on opening day then we were today and we chased."
--Matt Diaz, comparing how the Braves were shut down by Santana on Opening Day versus yesterday's game
5) "They made me throw a lot of pitches and even though I felt good, that's one of those days things didn't work out the way I wanted."
--Johan Santana
