Bullpen blows it again, Harvey, and Spinsanity

The Mets took the lead in the 9th inning last night on a 3-run homer by Jordany Valdespin for a 3-2 lead. The Mets blew it in the 9th, went ahead in the 10th, and blew it and lost it in the bottom of the 10th on a walkoff wild pitch by Pedro Beato. This game was like deja vu... When they played their 1st game in DC this year, they came from behind to take the lead in the 8th only to blow it, along with blowing leads they had in the 10th and 12th eventually to lost it in the 12th on a walkoff hit to Bryce Harper. The bullpen is a liability for this team. I don't trust anyone coming out of the pen. They can't get people out. This is why Matt Harvey needs to be called up. Yeah he might have control issues, but what young pitcher doesn't? He will have control issues in the minors and the majors, but the difference is he can help out the big league club when they desperately need it. Not only will he provide a spark, but he will allow Batista to stay in the bullpen, as he is 1 of the relievers I almost trust. They need to make a move! Please go out and get Huston Street! He is one of the best relievers in the league and we desperately need him, and wouldn't have to give up a top prospect to get him. Anyway, how clutch is Jordany Valdespin? He is the man right now! That is his 2nd go ahead pinch hit homer in the 9th inning this year! He is a catalyst! They pinch hit him for Jason Bay! Jason Bay needs to sit on the bench! Please Spinsanity needs to play everyday in left field! He has done so well this year and is obviously a big part in this team's future! He could potentially be part of the core that eventually wins this team a championship! He needs to start everyday! He plays great defense in LF as well! He provides a spark that, dare I say, Jose Reyes provided last year. He is far better than Bay and provides more energy! He needs to start everyday except when they face a tough lefty... Every time he comes up to the big club he just impresses me every time. I'm not trying to compare him to anyone, but his swing reminds me a lot of Robinson Cano's. They are both just easy going, beautiful swings!
