This team is awesome.

[Edgy MD]

Good job by Terry catching Guillen without a lefty ready in the pen.

Huge K by the Byrd!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Missed Ike's error. Was it bad?

[Edgy MD]

The no-doubles defense doesn't cut it.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Aw hell, a lead-off double.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Francisco = not a good closer.

[Guest themetfairy]

FuckShit....

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

eh. What a Miccosuckee finish

[Piggiestomatoes]

Happy muthafuckers day, Frankie.

[Guest Kong76]

Well, that sucked!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Guest themetfairy]

Fucking Francisco....

[Frayed Knot]

Had tack-on runs there for the taking w/2-on and just 1 out but didn't get them.

Both Ike errors this year have cost us.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Frank Frank isn't Benitez II. He's just a guy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That botched squeeze.

[Edgy MD]

Benitez, also, was a guy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

A guy with stuff.

[ashie62]

But Benitez sucked as bad as this guy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

In your memory (and, to a certain extent, mine)? Perhaps.

In reality? Not so much. (In fact, you could argue that the only thing that This Year's HoFer Franco's got on him is longevity and local roots.)

I can count the relievers that were better than Benitez during his Met stint on the fingers of just one of my hands. Even if I was thumbless.

After Benitez annihilated the hapless Braves that hadda face him one day (this was around the time that Valentine first started using AB in save situations regularly*), the Braves were dumbfounded that it took the Mets about half a season to realize that Benitez shoulda been higher on the depth chart than Franco.


* Not that I necessarily believe that the best reliever on the team should be used almost exclusively in save situations.

First cockpunch loss of 2012?

Amazing how one inning of work defines his entire tenure at the Mets.
