OMIR SANTOS!  Unbelievable.  A little man love? I had read earlier in the day that the Mets were looking to trade Castro since they would soon be carrying three catchers, what a way to cement the idea.....in a 2-1 victory in the bottom of the 11th, Santos was responsible for the first run with a towering home run and the game winning run with a line drive base hit.  I like this kid, he has fire.  He fist pumps after a win behind the dish, he fist pumps and yells when he has a big home run (see Papelbon) and fist pumps and yells when he has a game winning hit.  I'd like to see this kid have the starting spot.

James and I went to the game and we sat in our seats the entire game, no roaming around the stadium.  Each game I go to I am more and more happy with CitiField, it is just a matter of time to feel like it is "our" home. 

I have to say I was a bit confused with Manuel's handling of the bullpen tonight.  He brought pitchers in when they would have to be pinch hit for and with a thin bench he almost painted himself into a corner with lack of available players.  Speaking of lack of players, it is strange to go to a game and not see Jose playing SS, he can't come back fast enought, however, I am a big fan of Pagan and have enjoyed seeing him back in the line up.

Great atmosphere at Citi tonight, great win.  This ballclub, depite all the injuries, are finding ways to win. Their starting pitching has picked up the slack and their role players have come through in the clutch.  Let's keep it going!
