It Is Done

WFAN is reporting Johan Santana is actually a Met. Six years, $22 mil per, $150 mil when everything (including '08) is added up. He still needs to pass a physical*, but with that kind of scratch, scratch, scratch on the table, you can be damn sure he'll be healthy as a horse and awesome as an ox.
Metsopotamia exhales.
*Saturday: He passed — and we feel great!

Whew!
It's a new dawn folks.
Did anybody else get the feeling that at 5:01…Hank Steinbrenner would call up the Twins and offer Hughes and Kennedy?
JOHANISBERG!
Someone please dispatch a news crew out to Jimmy Rollins. And Chipper Jones.
It's done. It's done.
