FRANK FRANCISCO RUMORS
Like Terry Collins, you should have faith in Frank Francisco
About three weeks ago, I asked how you felt about Frank Francisco. The comments ranged from “CRINGE” to “nervous” to “HORRIBLE.” Since then he’s pitched in eight games, has an 0-2 record with 5 Saves and an 8.10 ERA. Yet I actually feel better about Francisco now then I did when I wrote the earlier piece.
Francisco allowed runs in each of his first three outings...

Francisco Was A Bad Idea
As I said yesterday, a team is only as strong as its bullpen. The Mets have exceeded most expectations save one: The bullpen remains a concern. It is the Mets’ weakest link.
Frank Francisco blew his second save in three games, meaning in a perfect world they would have swept the Marlins this weekend and gone 6-0 on their road trip.. However, baseball, as we know, is an imperfect...

The Mets return home after two brutal losses at the Hands of the Miami Reyes'. The Mets had a respectable road trip, going 4-2, but should have gone 6-0, thanks to two blown saves by Mets closer Frank Francisco.

The Mets return home Monday night hoping to get back on track in the first of two against a Brewers club looking to extend its winning streak at Citi Field...

Mets Closer Frank Francisco goes off on umpire
New York Mets closer Frank Francisco has blown a lot of games this season but yesterday he blew his top and it may have cost him his job.
Francisco didn't even retire a batter in the top of the ninth against the Miami Marlins before he was pulled from the game, walked towards home plate and started to unload a barrage of expletives at home plate umpire Todd Tichenor.
With the...

Oh Frankie, I Really Wish Sandy Hadn’t Signed You
Frank Francisco blew the save last night, one that would have pushed our winning streak to 6 games, and a season high 6 games over .500. The loss is not catastrophic by any means, but it just re-emphasizes that fact that we don’t have a shut down closer.
As crazy as our former closer Frankie Rodriguez was, he was still a top level closer and despite his high wire act most...
