The timing couldn?t be any worse for Johan Santana.
News broke on Wednesday that a woman who claims she was raped by Santana at a golf course in Florida last fall filed a civil suit against him and the Mets ace takes the mound on Thursday.
The Lee County Sheriff?s Department told the New York Daily News last year that there wasn?t enough evidence to press charges against Santana. The case hinged too heavily on the victim?s word against Santana.
And while the married southpaw pitch admits to having sex with the woman, he argues it was consensual.
?It?s still the same, I won?t comment,? Santana told reporters. ?It?s a legal matter. The truth will come out. I?m just gonna wait and see but I can?t give any further comment at this time.?
Will Santana be able to focus on keeping Colorado hitters off the bases on Thursday or will his mind be on other things?
