True, but of all the nights to blow a save, why this one? You had to have watched that game. It was the best night of Mike Pelfrey's young career. He pitched eight shuthout innings. He even had a hit. Pelfrey
never gets a hit. The fans were chanting his name. They gave him a standing ovation when he took to the mound in 9th inning to go for a complete game. Knowing how badly he struggled and how close he was to being sent down to the minors in his last start, even the most cynical Mets would say it was magical.
...and then with one hanging slider Billy Wagner took it all away.

Willie kept saying that, Wright kept saying that, and Minaya kept saying that, but that blown save deflated the place like I haven't seen since the 06 NLCS. I was so disgusted that I didn't even bother to watch extra innings and missed Beltran's walkoff home run.
But it's not the end of the world, a win is a win, but you gotta admit, that bullpen has the potential to kill this team more than their inconsistent hitting or starting rotation.
P.S. He's just committed his third straight blown save.
