7/4/08: Happ vs. Santana

New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies, Jul 4, 2008 7:05 PM EDT

In a situation which brings no pressure whatsoever, lefty J.A. Happ makes his first big league start of the season tonight in Philadelphia versus the rival New York Mets and a pretty good lefty pitcher named Johan Santana.

Happ was brilliant for AAA Lehigh Valley in June; the Phillies surely hope he can continue his hot streak a few miles south on the Northeast Extension.

The Mets currently sit 4.5 games behind the Phillies in the standings, and could sit just a half game back in the event of a sweep...

Happy 4th, go have some hot dogs.

Happ looking pretty sharp so far

Rain Delay

Home plate ump seems content to call everything a strike and get through the game.

Sadly he changed his mind in the top of the fifth

Happ is starting to fall apart.

Shame because it seems like the Phils have no interest in making Santana work at all.
