The Maine Man
John Maine showed last night why he should be on the All Star team in pitching to his 10th win of the season last night after being passed over for the second time as Roy Oswalt was selected to replace the injured John Smoltz in the mid summer classic. Maine has surpassed the high expectations bestowed upon him after having a break out post season last year. While everyone was expecting Tom Glavine and Orlando Hernandez to hold down the fort until Pedro Martinez gets healthy enough to return Maine has actually been the ace on the staff. Does he deserve to be an All Star? Absolutely. But as long as he continues to pitch on the level he has this year I’ll let this snub pass with a smile as the Mets have managed to find a new ace.
