The Mets beat the lowly Reds today 8-3, as their bats awoke from a one-game hibernation, blasting homers and scoring runs higgledy-freakin'-piggledy. Ollie Perez pitches five excellent innings...and one bad one. He got out of the bad one, though, and could've at least started the seventh. But we know that's not how things get done around here.
The Mets are on a pace to break the record for appearances by relievers in a season, said Gary Cohen on today's telecast. The record holders are, if I heard correctly, last year's Washington Nationals--a very bad team. It's not exactly a coveted record. As Keith Hernandez pointed out, last year the pen was totally burned out by September, playing a huge part in "The Collapse." Apparently Willie hasn't learned a damned thing. Once again, he uses four pitchers when two--or at the very most, three--would've done.
