Nelson Figueroa watching Johan Santana as a fan

Nelson Figueroa has been pitching from the Mets bullpen these days and has done a pretty good job of it.

Since September 1st the Pitcher has not let up a earned run in 4 and 2/3 innings. He has walked 2 and struck out 4 while giving up 6 hits.

Last night he spent the time in the bullpen as a fan. He said he was able to sit and watch Johan pitch cause he knew that Johan would go at least 7 innings. "You have to get ready mentally but it is still a good feeling for us in the bullpen" as told to John Harper of the Daily News .

The Mets still needed to use 3 relievers in this game so lets hope they enjoy a little rest. Luis Ayala was not used but was warming up in the 9th inning.
