Bullpen Ineffective In Mets Loss - Where Have I Heard This Before

The Mets dropped another, losing to the Rockies 7-6.

  • Mike Pelfrey made his longest outing of the season, going 5.1 innings and giving up four runs on six hits while striking out three and walking four.
  • Jose Reyes had not one, but two, triples in the game. 
  • David Wright went 2-3 with a home run in the bottom of the eighth.
  • Bobby Parnell struggled, yet again, out of the bullpen. In one inning of work, he allowed three runs to score. 
  • Jason Isringhausen made his triumphant return to Queens, pitching a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.
The highlight of this game was Jason Isringhausen. He's possibly the feel good story of the year.

The lowlight is Bobby Parnell. The Mets have made it clear that they are going to make personnel changes if things aren't working out. Well Sandy, things aren't working out with Parnell. The Mets have the option of sending him down to Buffalo. It's early in the season, and he is just not effective at this point.

Next up: The Mets continue their series against the Rockies at 7:10 p.m.
