As I mentioned yesterday in my post, Scott Schoeneweis has not been an effective reliever. I know the guy has a bad left leg and maybe some time on the disabled list would be good for him.

After Wagner and Mota effectively pitched their one inning each, our favorite reliever comes in and gives up a bomb to Brendan Ryan when he has 2 strikes on him. In his 2/3 of an inning, Schoeneweis gives up 2 hits 2 runs (1 ER) along with walking a guy. Horrible.

What bothers me the most is, its becoming a normal occurrence. Even though his previous 4 appearances were a bit better and he really has not had a blow up since June 7th, his ERA is still well over where it should be and us Mets fans know that the game is over when he comes in.

Well whats the solution then? Good question. What lefty reliever can we acquire to take this guys spot if we did let him go or even put him on the DL for a while? I do not know of any. We are stuck in the meantime.

Many of you may be thinking "Well what about Aaron Heilman?" While Heilman has been another favorite whipping boy (especially giving up the temporary go ahead run), may I remind everyone that when Duaner Sanchez went down after his cab incident (which I think we are still feeling sour for) Heilman filled in beautifully as an 8th inning guy.

So I think the verdict is still out on Heilman, but it looks like Schoeneweis better figure something out fast. We are all hoping his days are numbered as a Met.
