Victorino is up there on the list of baseball players I hate that deserve one in the ear, he was the one a copule of nights ago that slid about 10 feet out of the baseline on a takeout slide.

Who would've thunk it a 3 game series in Philly where their top 2 pitchers are going and the Mets bottom 3 are going.
Battling back again.

Kudos to Sandy for retooling the bullpen but the first big game Francisco blows he's going to explode at the NY media

I'll take 4-2 but it does suck when those 2 are blown leads in the 9th.
Francisco was getting squeezed (was listening to Howie, who absolutely tore Francisco a new one) but couldn't retire anyone. Terry came out to pull him before he could do anymore damage and Francisco went right after the umpire, got tossed (which didn't mean shit cause he was already pulled).
Howie described it as a complete emotional breakdown on Francisco's part. According to the 2012 version of questec (forget what it's called) the pitches were strikes. Apparently it was one of those holier than thou umps that would refused to address Frank but still.
"All strikes," Francisco maintained. "I threw one a little high[er], because he didn't call one at the knees. I threw a straight fastball right there. He didn't call anything. And then I went a little higher to see. And he didn't call the higher one. There's nothing you can do about that. It's their call. I feel like I should say something."
Francisco said he legitimately originally wanted a response from Tichenor about why the pitches were ruled balls. He said the ump was stoic and unresponsive.
"He didn't say anything," Francisco said. "He didn't say anything. I asked him where were those pitches, and he didn't say anything. I expected him to say something -- probably 'low,' 'away,' or something. Give me a reason. Nothing."
Francisco acknowledged the lack of a response got him more upset.
"Yeah," Francisco said. "I was asking a simple question."

I think both sides of the argument have merit. Under the circumstances (down 8 runs in the 7th inning), I think Collins' made the right move. I would hope that if the game were closer, he would have left Wright in.
Unrelated, but I think it deserves attention - Frank Catalonotto has been a solid addition to MetsBlog.

16. Zack Wheeler, RHP, New York Mets (age 21)
Current level: Double-A (Binghamton)
Preseason ranking: 27
The only thing between him and potential No. 1-starterdom is just throwing more strikes. The raw stuff is there.
