Recently Released Livan pitches decent for the Nationals.

Of course this can only happen to the Mets. They release Livan Hernandez and what happens? Not 1 but 2 of the Mets go down. So do the Mets resign him? Nope he goes and signs with the Nationals and gives up 2 runs on 6 hits in 6 innings and doesn’t factor in the decision in the Nationals loss to the Cubs. Now why can he pitch 6 innings and have 71 strikes and only 2 walks and with the Mets he cant get out of the 4th inning? Some things are just impossible to explain. I wonder how he will do in his next start but the Mets are starving for starting pitching.

The Mets don’t bother biting off the scrap heap. Brad Penney was just let go by the Red Sox but he got hammered in his last outing.

The Mets seemed destined to just stay the course and we just hope they don’t lose 30 out of the last 35 they play.
