Matthew Cerrone: In the long line of Mets closers before him, Frank Francisco just can't make life easy for us, can he? Yikes. I mean, with the bases loaded, he tossed a four-pitch walk to bring home a run. Brutal. But, somehow, he managed to get it done, despite Terry Collins pacing and staring down Dan Warthen's bullpen phone. It's pretty clear, I think, that if the Mets are going to make a serious run through September, they're going to need new blood for these type of situations. In the meantime, it's 'Frank Frank,' and I'm glad Collins stuck with him because ' if that acquisition is never made ' the Mets will need him to be confident.
That said, man, oh, man, the rotation has been sensational of late. Gee looked fantastic most of the game, he simply ran out of gas (and quick) in his final inning. However, up until that point, he did a terrific job using his fastball moving around all sides of the plate. He committed to a game plan, stuck with it and he lulled them in to a funk.
