I don't object to Santana being taken out, but he probably should have batted - he's a much better hitter than Marlon Anderson.
I'll nominate Bob Brenly and Grady Little. I'm going to go ahead and jinx it and say it's nice to get back on the winning track again...Aces do that, I guess.
The name, though it shouldn't, of Carlos Delgado still carries some weight in the minds of opponents, I think.
My guess is this was Washington's 1st game home since Jackie Robinson Day. (I didn't watch any of the game, so I don't know for sure.)
Can Santana play 1st in the 2/8 hole on days he doesn't pitch? I'm Semi-serious. I still find it ridiculous that Santana led the Mets in XBHs tonight.
