He pitched decent until the 7th. That was a bad inning for the Mets.

Exactly!! 6 good innings...only to piss it away in the 7th. He has so not lived up to his expectations when the Mets drafted him. After 5 1/2 years in the league...you'd think he learn something...NOPE!! HE SUCKS!!! When the firesale starts next month...I hope he's the second to go, right after Beltran.

Well, here's perhaps a bigger difference between the two leagues than the DH one. In the AL it is considered a quality start if the pitcher gives you 6 good innings before the game is put into the hands of the bullpen. In the NL they seem to expect more innings out of the starter . . . which may work just fine within the league, what with the normally lighter hitting, but can bite you during interleague play.


Of course, to have success by turning games over to the bullpen to close, one first need have a bullpen.

Now the media is saying that later this week there is a Sports Illustrated article coming out where Wilpon says he might cut payroll by 30%. are you kidding me.....
