Mets bullpen cant get 6 outs AAron Heilman walks in winning run in 9th

A month from now we will be bearing down on the last week of the season. We play the Cubs and these Marlins. We most likely are going to be in the hunt with no clear cut leader. If we have to endure this type of loss then we can get forget any post season trips. Anybody remember Kenny Rodgers?

The Mets lost tonight 4-3 with the bullpen failing when Duaner Sanchez gave up the tying run via a home run to Mike Jacobs. That was followed by AAron Heilman giving up 4 walks with 2 being intentional in the 9th inning and Mets lost a game that Mike Pelfrey had finally pitched well against the Marlins. He battled and only gave up 2 runs in 6 2/3 innings.

He hit Cody Ross in the bottom of the 2nd that lead to some words exchanged but the benches cleared and no punches were thrown.
The Mets need to get on that field a little faster next time cause the Marlins bench was out there and no Mets were anywhere to be seen to protect Pelf and Schneider

Brian Stokes was the only highlight in the Bullpen tonight coming in and getting 2 strikeouts after Duaner Sanchez gave up the tying run. I can see Brian getting more of a role in this bullpen with the way he has pitched.

David Wright had a 2 run shot in the first inning as th emets failed to put runs on the board after the 3rd inning tonight.

The Phillies won earlier today so the Mets lead is down to 1 game.
