Well…that happened. Johan Santana finally had his run support, and in a rare moment of WTF-ery, he practically gave it all away himself tonight. Taking a 4-0 lead into the 4th inning, he quickly gave up 2 runs, but then managed to hang on until the 7th, until Michael McKenry blasted a 2-run homer over …

KRod Shows Aramis the Family Room. Post-Game: Mets 3, Brewers 1
