In what should be the deal of the offseason the Mets and their fans patiently waited and landed the big fish of the winter: Johan Santana. By doing this the Mets have put themselves back into position to compete with the best of them and has also added some much needed diversity to the Mets locker room (that was for you Corey). In return the Mets gave up 4 promising yet in the big scheme of things insignificant prospects. Stay tuned to "the basement" for all your sports needs and we continue to bring you the latest coverage in what has turned into a very interesting week for the NY sports fan.

FYI- If Wilpon doesnt show Santana the money I might "want to inflict serious bodily harm on the man" (had to make sure I worded it correctly). And if he does I may be more likely to reconsider my previous post about **** Field since he has finally decided to do something for the fans.
