Leaky Pen, please no more Heilman!

How long are we going to have to deal with Aaron Heilman as closer? 3 runs in the 9th against a lowly Pirate team? Stick a fork in him, he is done. How many chances does this guy get? What do the Mets see in him that they keep him around? He alone is keeping the Mets out of first place. 3 Blown Saves and 7 losses with a 5.74 ERA? Even if they don't lose half of them, they are in first!
This bullpen is so aggravating! Why is that they can't hold leads to the lesser teams? Houston, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Seattle? Come on guys, wake up!
It looks as if we have to settle for these guys for the season, so the roller coaster will continue!
This part of the schedule SHOULD give the Mets an advantage. They are playing in Washington and Pittsburgh for the next 6 games while the Fish are playing St Louis and Chicago and the Phillies are out West (LA, SD). I have a feeling that things will still be the same by the end of the weekend.
I don't understand why the lesser teams give the Mets such difficulty. Do they not get up for them as they do the better teams? San Diego, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and Washington are all teams they should have at least a .700 record against instead of below .500!!
Let's see if they can change that this week. One can only hope!!
