The Mets needed to get bullpen help they didn't get. If everybody in your bullpen is going to blow leads, it's hard for any manager to overcome that. Has to be overcome in the front office.

I doubt the Indians can beat Boston. The Red Sox starters and bullpen are too strong. If Beckett pitches like he did in this series, forget it. Sabathia and Carmona are very good for the Indians, but the Red Sox pitching is in a league of its own. It's a good lineup, but pitching carries them, something I never thought I'd be saying about Boston. Lineups are about even. Indians have a bench edge, but I don't think the series will be close. The Colorado-Arizona series will be a battle. Boston, I think will win in 5 or 6.
