Buccos rally off best bullpen in Majors

Scored 5 in the 8th inning off of J.J. Putz, the man the Mets brought in during the offseason, along with K-Rod to solve their bullpen woes from previous years. Putz's famed splitfinger last night was awful, and his fastball wasnt much better either as he failed to record an out and surrendured 4 consecutive singles in the 8th inning.

Snell was his usual self--- extremely incosistent during the first few innings of the game, digging the Pirates into a 5 run hole before he settled down nicely and did not give up a hit for the final 3 1/3 innings. The bullpen also pitched 3 shutout innings from the uses of Sean Burnett, Steven Jackson-- who was making his 2009 debut with the team after recently acquiring him from the St. Louis Rams.

Grrr

Tom Gorzelanny for 4 pitches, and Matt Capps for the save. Gorzo got the win..by throwing 4 pitches.
Deep Breath... Tom Gorzelanny has as many wins as Paul Maholm... He pitched 1/3 of an inning last night. Seem fair to you?
Adam LaRoche was 3/5 and raised his average to .242. Woooohoo
Brother Andy went 2/4 to raise his average to.... .304 0-19 to start the year seems like a long time ago.

Notes

• 6-7-8- hitters= 7 Hits, 4 Runs, 5 R.B.I.'s
  
• The Mets are really injured... 3 of their 4 best hitters are out
• Duke-Santana Tonight... would be a great game if anyone would watch it
