Brian loves us!

This is from the Elias Sports Bureau:

Have the Mets found a keeper in Brian Bannister, who earned his first major-league win in a 7-1 victory over the Nationals? Could be. Bannister has held the opposition scoreless through five innings in each of his first two major-league starts. But curb your enthusiasm -- at least for the moment. The last five pitchers to do that were Robinson Tejeda, Kyle Davies, Jimmy Gobble, Wil Ledezma, and Mike Maroth.

Let's also not forget that Bannister's only two games have been against the Nationals, and that his ratios aren't very good: K/BB=1.25; K/9=3.46. So, let's hold off on the euphoric rhetoric for a bit.
