Relief For The Bullpen



Who is to blame for the Mets downfall last season? Well, a part of the blame can go to the bullpen. Pitching is a huge factor for any team to win, and the Mets just didn't have it. But now that the the Mets have acquired Johan Santana, there will be a much needed relief. Santana is a total inning-eater, and about every 5 days, the bullpen will have more rest than they would if Traitor Glavine was pitching. There is some questioning on whether the Mets wouldn't have collapsed if they didn't pitch so much, and in my opinion, the answer is yes. I play on a team with barely any pitchers, and when they got tired, they didn't pitch as good as they could've. That's what happened to the Mets. We all know that Pedro Feliciano, Scott Schowenweis, Jorge Sosa, and the rest of the bullpen have very good talent, but having pitchers like rookie Philip Humber and Mike Pelfrey pitching, they couldn't get any good resting time. Well, we'll see what the Mets fate is soon enough. Hopefully, their fate will bring them the club's 3rd ring.
