Adam Rubin of the Daily News had an interesting side note to his article this morning…

Met starters are averaging 5.8 innings through the first 19 games. Met relievers have made 70 appearances out of the pen through the first 19 games.

You can certainly see how tired and ineffective guys like Aaron Heilman and Jorge Sosa are already…
