If I ever have more kids I’m naming them all Nimmo.

[Lefty Specialist]

So the Vargas era continues to not go particularly well.

The Mets stake Vargas out to a 5-3 lead and Vargas promptly goes out and gives up an absolute bomb to Aguilar.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Following the HR by Aguilar, Vargas gives up a double to Shaw and a single by Saladino to tie the game.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Rhame comes in and picks up where Vargas left off. The last three Brewers have gone walk, triple, and single. Now Braun steals second to get into scoring position.

[Frayed Knot]

It's Rhaming on my parade.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

What a surprise, Ramos gives up two runs without surviving a single inning.

There just isn't much relief available in the Mets bullpen.

[Gwreck]

Wait. AJ Ramos was allowed to pitch in what was a close game?

Has Mickey fallen and hit his head?

[Centerfield]

Ramos sucking is the least surprising thing in the world.

When the hell is Swarzak available? Or any of those half-dozen minor league middle relievers we acquired at the trade deadline?

Swarzak got hurt in ST and then hurt again after briefly appearing for the Mets. I read that he's slowly making his way back.
Edgy knows better than I do but none of the "bounty" that the Mets genius GM acquired last season for Bruce, Granderson and Reed are any good (other than one guy who is in A ball).

Meanwhile, what are they going to do with Vargas and Ramos? They aren't going to send them down or cut them because that would mean Sandy would be admitting two mistakes.

[Edgy MD]

I think there's plenty of good there.

Meanwhile, I've never seen a 1-2-5 double-play before.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

With the bases loaded with Brewers (what a surprise), The Mets turn the rare 1-2-5 DP.

Just no major league ready help in the near future.

[Centerfield]

If any quality is found there, it’s by accident. The intent wasn’t to get talent. It was to unload salary.

If any of them turn into anything it will be fortuitous.

[Edgy MD]

Cabrera doesn't look like his legs are OK.

Of course it isn't by accident.

Lots of teams that are losing trade expensive veterans in the last year of their contract. They still look for talent. It happens all the time.

[Centerfield]

Some prioritize talent. Some prioritize dumping salary. We know which category the Mets fall into.

Such as? Callahan, who had every opportunity to make the team in ST? Has Rahme shown you anything? I trust your judgment in minor leaguers but I could use some hope.

[Centerfield]

It’s pretty well determined that the Mets could have brought back better talent had they eaten salary. They chose not to.

They could have had better talent this winter but elected to sign Vargas.
