Innings 7, 8 & 9

[Frayed Knot]

Just in case you thought you were imagining things:

Innings 1-3 the Mets run differential is +88
in innings 4-6 it's -1
and in innings 7-9 it's -49

Put another way, the NL average for runs score/given up in innings 7-9 is 30%
Mets score 22% of their runs in those innings and give up 35%

Bad bench, bad bullpen.

Wow, that number has to be up now, you can tack on -7.

Embarassing.

Only logical solution is to build a rain machine.

How many runs must bullpen let up
and pretend it's a quirk to ignore
and how many times must Wagner implode
allowing the opponent to score?
Yes and how many batters will Heilman walk
until we can stand it no more
The bullpen my friend, is blowing all the wins
the bullpen is blowing all the wins

How many batters must Schoeneweis plunk
until we can ask if he tries?
And how miles can Duaner's fastball drop
before Jerry starts asking why?
Yes and how many times must Joe Smith give it up
before all the fans start to cry?
The bullpen my friend, is blowing all the wins
the bullpen is blowing all the wins

How big a lead do the starters have to get
and not have to pray for some rain?
And how many leads can they blow in the ninth
before they drive Johan insane?
Yes and how many stabs can we take to the heart
and still hope to endure the pain?
The bullpen my friend, is blowing all the wins
the bullpen is blowing all the wins

How many arms can Dan Warthan deploy
Before they're released and set free?
How many wins can this bullpen destroy
As the crowd thinks the GM can't see?
How many games won't a Met fan enjoy
'Cuz we just can't get out number three?
Santana, my friend, is missing all the Twins
Santana is missing all the Twins
