August 27, 200818 yr Gregg has cost of us some games, but don't forget... Billy Wagner- 7 blown saves Jose Valverde- 6 blown saves Francisco Rodriguez- 5 blown saves. Even the best closers blow some chances, and plenty of times his team has let him down. I am not defending his crappy pitching at times...but this team overall just gets crappy in the 9th on defense too. Or least crappier than usual :blink:
August 27, 200818 yr Hey moron! LEARN THE GAME! It's one thing to blow a save...it's one thing to have a bad transfer (although it's too many f***ing times Hanley!) It's another thing to be a retard. How many times are you going to make retarded decisions, Dan? Why the f*** would you cover the bag when that run means nothing? I swear Dan...you make some of the stupidest decisions, I've ever seen. Forget it. The season has ended. sad but true All I can say is thank god football is around the corner... i love the fish but last night the season died on this road trip, the marlins should have won 3 games that they lost by letting a crappy team comeback.... pathetic

Or least crappier than usual :blink: I'm not a big fan of his but to be fair 3 of his blown saves would have been avoided had we turned taylor made double plays that weren't turned. Two by Hanley and one by Cantu. He also blew two saves on wild pitches.. these are his fault but just mentioning it. I think one of the wild pitch blown saves came on the same game Cantu blew the DP.
August 27, 200818 yr I don't know if this will ease anybodys minds but the Mets have a tough rode ahead of them. Hopefully they will lose to the Phillies tonight and then lose again tomorrow. They then face us for 3 games, Milwakee 3 games, Phillies 3 games, Washington and Atlanta for 2 weeks (they won't win all of those games), the cubs for 4 games, and then finish up with us. We need to start winning tomorrow and then go on a winning streak. Hopefully this is the last bad game played. They will tighten it up and when they start playing with good pitching, (good hitting was displayed tonight), and the bullpen snaps out of it, I am betting we will make a push. Relax and think positively-if not next year does look good, however, this year is not over. The Mets have 29 games left, 15 of those 29 are at Shea. 12 of those 29 are against the Braves and the Nationals (both of whom will surely just bend over and spread 'em). Their "toughest" competition in their upcomming schedule is the Cubs for 4 games 7 days before the end of the season. The Cubs will probably have their playoff spot locked by then, and will be resting starters, and not really give a sh*t if they win or lose. We have 30 games left, 15 at home. 5 more vs. Atlanta who we are 4-6 against 6 vs. the Mets who we are 5-7 against 3 vs. the Cards, 1-3 6 vs. the Phils, who we have a winning record against so far this year, 7-5 6 vs. the Nats, who we are 10-2 against but that's because they are the Nats 3 vs. the Astros, 1-2 1 vs. the Reds, 2-5 Also, that make-up game against the Reds is set for 9/22, which means we lose an off-day, so now our last day off is 9/15 and we will play 13 in a row (last 7 on the road) to end the season. As I gaze into my crystal ball, I see diarrhea. What you saw in your crystal ball was the mets bullpen, they have soiled their pants all year long. With that being said, if they ever have to turn it over to the bullpen they have a very good chance to lose. Unfortunately, this is the case right now with ours except the guys in our bullpen aren't hurt (maybe mentally). I wouldn't rule us out just yet, the Mets blew it with a 7 game lead last year. We just have to start winning.
August 27, 200818 yr Kevin Gregg is AWFUL, it's only fair that freddi lets someone else try to close next time, demote gregg to relief. The point of the game is not to follow a formula every 9th inning, it's to win. If batters are slumping, they get benched, why not the same for closers.

Funny how you didn't mention the Astros...smartass :thumbdown And yes, I don't care about my own team...that's why I'm on this board. get a clue. It's calling making a point.

I only remember one of those wild pitch losses. And it wasn't a blown save, he came in with the score tied. SF game. But that was a WP that would have been blocked by a decent catcher.

I went back to check. On June 2nd he blew a save in Atlanta when the tying run scored on a WP. We lost the game in extra innings. On 8/21 in SF he came in in a tied game and allowed the winning run to score on a WP. So he has one blown save and one loss on wild pitches. We don't agree on much but we agree that a good catcher will block more pitches than a not so good catcher.
