Johan Santana didn't make it? Not that surprising, considering the Mets' lackluster performance.

And my friend has 2 tickets to the All-Star game. I myself am a huge Yankees fan and wanted to be there. Ah, I guess I will see it on TV.

Santana is 7-7. And while the W-L record is a joke, it still does make you think if he'd be helpful in the game.

But he's got a 2.96 ERA and over 100 strike outs so far, so it is surprising that he's not there.
