Blow-Rod, and Murphy

The Mets were so close to a win on Wednesday night. They went up 3-0, but the Braves came back against Bobby Parnell, who was bad again. It was 4-4 in the eighth, when Jerry made the questionable move to pinch hit Omir "Short Swing" Santos against the left hander. Well, luckily for the Mets, and Jerry, Santos hit a go ahead home run off of Mike Gonzalez. Blow-Rod came in the 9th, and gave up a dobule to Garret Anderson, and then hit McCann. Escobar sacrificed the runners over, and then LaRoche was intentionally walked to set up the double play. Omar Infante hit the game tying sacrifice fly to make it 5-5. Then Ryan Church hit a grounder that Daniel Murphy attempted to do his best Bill Buckner impression. Of course, it bounced off his glove, and the game was over. It's easy to blame Daniel Murphy for this, but Blow-Rod just hasn;t been good for us this year. Maybe he's injured, or maybe he's just crap, or maybe's he crap and injured and overpiad. (I say the latter).
Bobby Parnell had a bad outing again, going 3.1, giving up 3 run, walking 3 and striking out 4. He actually had a swinging stike percentage of 13.3%. Josh Tholewas awesome, going 2/4 with 2 RBI's. Josh Thole is awesome.
Stupid Decision of the Day: Going to Blow-Rod. Jerry, I know everyone else was used, but he stinks. He just flat out stinks, and I would not use him anymore.
Random Thought of the Day: Maybe Francoeur would be better than Blow Rod at pitching?
Clutch Play of the Game: Santos homer in the 8th. +.265 WPA.
