Add Blackley to the left handed pool...

The Mets really need a second lefty out of the bullpen, last year they tried to go with just Feliciano and even before the injuries, the cross over righties weren't getting the job done against good left handed hitters. As much as they've used Feliciano, they're really asking for an injury which would be devastating for this pen.Once again the Mets have chose not to bring...

On Sunday night, Iron Pigs starter Les Walrond made history.
