TWO-GAME WINNING STREAK

[Frayed Knot]

Frankie blows the save but vultures himself a win.

[smg58]

Exhale.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That was a helluva game.

Makes me feel a glimmer of optimism! And despite the blown save, I'm going to give Frankie Rodriguez some Schaefer. That was a gutty effort from him.

thank god we escaped that one

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew!

If the Mets were smart, they'd get Redding off the roster tonight (minors, DFA, phantom injury) and call up a pitcher for the next few days. Frankie can't go tomorrow so they're short in the BP. When it's Redding's turn, send the guy down and recall Niese or Figueroa (who was rained out from starting tonight).

I'm far from being a Jon Heyman fan, but this tweet is a good one:

SI_JonHeyman k-rod insisted on going back out for 10th. how's that for leadership, johnny franco? #mets

[Guest Kong76]

Why is he calling out Franco on tweet tweet?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Franco challenged the testicularity of the team on a radio interview.

or Perez.

but i agree with the general idea, gets a reliever with options (Kunz?) up here NOW because redding is done anyway so why let him waste a roster spot. is there a lefty they can bring up? the phillies are very lefty-heavy anyway so thats probably preferable to Kunz.

[Guest Kong76]

Yeah, but why's he calling out Franco on tweet tweet.

It ain't even his story.

Lefties at AAA--Takahaski and Switzer, who have come and gone.
