Fragile - handle with care?

We'll see how resilient the 'new' Mets are. If they can't shake off last night's loss then this will be a long season. They didn't do badly coming from behind last night, but then the 8th inning and it was all thrown away. Whether that was one bad game or the end of the good feeling, we'll know better in a couple of hours. So far, Pelfrey & Reyes are not helping the cause.

The Heilman decision: I couldn't believe it when I heard that Heilman was coming in with a man on first and no one out in the 8th. I've been encouraged by his recent good form, but I wasn't ready to call him cured. Why was Willie? Was it some form of experiment? Anyway, I was annoyed by that decision. Smith or Sanchez would have been more to my liking.
