Quote: It’s OK with Pedro, Bullpen didn’t Quit
Yesterday, Joe Smith, Pedro Feliciano, Duaner Sanchez, Aaron Heilman and Scott Schoeneweis combined to let up six runs in three innings, blowing a four-run lead handed to them by Pedro Martinez.
Martinez, regarding the bullpen, while speaking to reporters following yesterday’s loss:
“With me, it’s OK. Everybody out there was trying to reel in and win. They never quit, and you have to give them credit.”
…i admire pedro’s view, but forgive me if i am unable to be so peaceful and loving today…
The Mets have 20 blown saves this season, which is fourth-worst in the National League.
The Phillies have blown just eight saves, best in the league.
…i’m officially sick…do you realize if the bullpen had blown just half of that number, 
the Mets would be in first place by eight games, and have the best record in the league…
…one more time, in case you missed it: if the bullpen had blown just half of that number, the Mets would be in first place by eight games, and have the best record in the league…
This season, while Billy Wagner has blown seven saves, Pedro Feliciano is 0 for 2 in save situations, Aaron Heilman is 2 for 4, Carlos Muniz is 0 for 1, Scott Schoenweiss is 1 for 4 and Joe Smith is 0 for 3.
What’s worse, During the 10–game winning streak in July, opponents hit .191 against the bullpen – but, in the 22 games since, opponents are batting .289.
