Jerry Manuel says relievers need to take a stand and tonight they do

With the Mets losing Billy Wagner for an indefinite period of time Jerry Manuel says everyone needs to step up . Well the bullpen did tonight.

Luis Ayala, AAron Heilman and Scott Schoienweiss pitched 2 2/3 innings tonight and didn't allow a run . While the bullpen held the Braves the Mets broke out in the 8th with 5 runs . They won the game going away with a 7-3 victory.

It was nice to see our bullpen hold it together while the Braves bullpen blow up. They had 4 pitches in the 8th inning. Every time you turned around Bobby Cox was walking to the mound to bring another pitcher. It was quite entertaining.
