Tonight The Phillies and Mets play and it will be Johan Santana facing Cole Hamels. The two top left landed pitchers in The National League Face off in this intense rivalry. Nothing will make me happier than Santana getting hit all over Citizens Bank Park.
This pitching rivalry could be around for the next 5 years and it reminds me 20+ years ago with Steve Carlton and Nolan Ryan. Ryan was thought as the better pitcher, but when Carlton was on his game he was unstoppable. And when these two faced each other, it was even more exciting.
I don't think Santana will have the impact all of the talking heads seem to. He's a great pitcher and still relatively young, but there is a huge difference pitching in Minnesota and pitching in New York, for their Second Favorite Team.
