My Favorite Former Met

With the emphasis on former...

Two nights ago, legendary Mets closer Armando Benitez (legendary for blowing the most important saves of any given season) and (almost) current closer for the San Francisco Giants balked twice, one balk of which scored the tying run. Armando responded in typical fashion and gave up a dinger to the next batter to lose the game for the Giants.

The Giants traded him to the Florida Marlins the next day. The good news is that he'll be facing the Mets many, many more times. I figure he's got a few games to win for the Mets (now that he'll be facing them more often) to make up for all the ones he lost in the playoffs while playing for them.

If that doesn't make any sense, I blame the coffee sitting in front of me, which I haven't had a chance to drink yet.
