Jonathon Niese did more than merely sit back and stew after what his manager called "the worst game he's ever pitched in his life." He worked to ensure it wouldn't happen again.

Jonathon Niese allowed one run in 7 2-3 innings, helping the New York Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 Wednesday for their third win in four games.

After a second, consecutive dreadful outing, Sandy Alderson designated D.J. Carrasco for assignment and promoting southpaw Robert Carson from Binghamton.  The move is the first in what could be a semi-overhaul of the Mets atrocious bullpen and at th...

Yesterday is a prime example to why the closer situation over the weekend is a big issue. The New York Mets got their rear ends handed to them on a silver platter by the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-0. If the Mets had those two wins in their back p...

Last week I thought it would just be a blip with Frank Francisco and the blown save. However, he came yesterday’s game and blew another one. Back when the moves were made in the off-season, I said Francisco, Rauch and Ramirez would backfir...

It probably goes without saying that the Mets bullpen has been inconsistent at best so far this season-and there have been games like yesterday’s where it was downright awful.  The Amazins probably need to make some changes to their relief cor...

Frank Francisco's meltdown in Miami yesterday was troubling on a number of levels. Terry Collins did the right thing by not committing to any course of action after the game, but clearly something must be done about this bullpen.
