Are you kidding me!

Ok, the Pujols grand slam was understandable, but letting up a walk off grand slam to Everth Cabrera, a rookie short stop. He's played 52 games this year. 52! K-Rod is terrible. I know he had 62 saves but saves don't mean anything. He has 4.22 tRA, which last time I checked isn't good for a closer to have. The league leader (Mariano Rivera) has a tRA of 2.90. The Pujols grand slam was hit off of Sean Green, who hasn't even had a good year. K-Rod was the best closer in the league last year. He shouldn't be letting up walk off anything. The ump did though screw the Mets, when he called Kyle Blanks safe when he was clearly out. The Amazin's just haven't been getting the breaks this year either from the umps or the baseball gods (because they exist). Cabrera was 0-3 in the game and Frankie and struck him out the last time they faced each other. Last time the Mets had went into extra innings in San Diego, they went 17, so they still might have lost, but it couldn't have been as bad as what happened. K-Rod had the rookie at a full count and still gave him a pitch to hit. With a rookie up with a chance to win in the 9th why wouldn't you think he was nervous and just attack him. Maybe the K-Rod signing wasn't the best thing the Mets could have done.
