Santana effect felt in Venezuela

Jack Curry relays a pretty cool comment about Johan Santana from a sports writer from Venezuela, Alfredo Villasmil:
"When Johan pitches,” Villasmil said, “the country is paralyzed."
I'm sure the same feelings are being felt by Mets fans all around the tri-state area.

That's really awesome though. I wonder how much Mets merchandise is available in that country. I'm sure the Mets have enough smarts in their front office to get their shirts, hats, and all things numbered "57" down there as soon as possible.
