Luis Ayala is the Mets Closer?

Alright, posting immediately after posting is very lame (or, maybe that's the point of blogging; who knows?), but it needs to be noted that Luis Ayala has inexplicably become the Mets' closer in Billy Wagner's absence. Huh? How did this happen? When am I due for my angina?

Please click on this link to see tonight's box score -- a 5-4 win over the Florida Marlins, thanks to Carlos Beltran's grand slam in the top of the ninth, and no thanks to Ayala's ninth inning of work, perhaps the ugliest line ever for a save: one inning pitched, four hits and two runs.

Being a Mets fan and being anxious go hand in hand. I guess that's why I love them so. How they make the playoffs with this bullpen is beyond me.
