A belated post on Johan Santana's bum knee

Torn meniscus.

Wow.

I have a buddy who was also preparing for the marathon, but he tore his meniscus and now can barely run.

Seriously, he says the pain occurs every time he starts to the jog, and after a few minutes it always reaches the point where he has to stop.

And yet Johan goes out and throws that gem on short rest.

So impressive. It's a shame we won't see how much more he would have done under the playoff pressure...

(In the picture Johan shows everyone how he grips a Wiffle ball to make it come to a complete stop in mid-air right before it reaches the hitter.)
