    Trade Mets get Luis Ayala

    Mets acquired Luis Ayala today from the Nationals for Anderson Hernandez. Shocker that Omar Minaya would go out and get one of his former Expos players (and a latino to boot!), even though Ayala has sucked a gigantic dong this year for Washington.

    well, look at Hernandez' career numbers. Then look at Ayala's career numbers. Ayala can help our bullpen. Hernandez couldn't help a Little League World Series team.

    Seriously, Hernandez was AWFUL offensively, and had supposedly regressed defensively. No reason to keep him around when you have Argenis Reyes who is a better version of him in the Major Leagues. Good deal.

    He's been healthy. Just not as effective. GM Jim Bowden seemed to agree that a change of scenery will help Ayala.

    Another save for Ayala, pretty impressive.

    His numbers with Washington: 0 saves, 5.77 ERA, 1.47 WHIP
    His numbers with New York: 6 saves, 2.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP

    Talk about turnaround (for now).

    Mets bullpen does it again. Ayala gives up a three-run pinch hit homerun to Greg Norton?!?! Braves take the 5-4 lead and go on to win 7-4. Commence the collapse.

    One loss doesn't start a collapse. It's ridiculous how every time the Mets lose a single game, half of the MLB reporters start saying their season is over...

    Well the bullpen did blow Santana's previous start two days ago.

    But they rebounded to win the following game. Last year, they went 5-12 down the stretch. It's not a collapse when they're 7-4 in September.

    The Mets won 5 of their last 17 games last year... and this year, their final 17 games just started on Saturday! They're 1-2! It's already a better pace than last year, you got to admit that.

    By my count, the Mets went 11-11 last September. 7-4 is a much better pace.

    Don't forget the fact that, they'd still be leading the Wild Card. There's a good chance whoever doesn't win the NL East is still headed for the postseason.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.
