Relief pitching sort of NY Mets style

I have a number of friends that are Met fans, so obviously I feel bad for them. I also feel bad for the employees of the team (non-players), such as security guards, vendors and others who are able to help their income by seeing the Mets make deep runs into the playoffs.

Which brings us back to the point, every game counts. The reasons for the disappointing finish in Flushing are obvious, the bullpen, lack of clutch and situational hitting. That goes to show you that every game does count.

The Mets were charged with 29 blown saves - 16 after the All-Star break. If that number is 27 and they win those two, then they would be in the playoffs by now.

Of course it's not that simple, but it's a start when you want to dissect the team and since I like statistics, I will break things down.
