Same Old Mets

The Mets bullpen is in fine mid-season form, blowing a three run lead when Pedro Martinez left the game by giving up four runs in two-plus innings, including three runs on two homers by Mets "closer" Braden "Armando" Looper. Looper might be confused and think that a closer's job is to end the game as quickly as possible regardless of who wins, which would explain why he required just 14 pitches (and no outs) to put an end to the game, albeit for the Reds.

Before the game, the Mets put Kris Benson - who makes $8 million a year and for whom Ty Wigginton and several prospects were sacrificed for - on the disabled list. Benson is out indefinitely. Now that the Mets sent Matt Ginter away for nothing, they are left without a suitable replacement for Benson.
