Mets Sign K-Rod

The New York Mets, one of the biggest choke artists in the MLB, hope to have solved that problem.

Today, the Mets agreed to a 3 year, 37 million doller deal with Fransico Rodriquez. Last season Rodriquez broke the single season record for saves in a season with 62. He had an ERA of 2.24 with 77 strike outs in 68.1 innings. He also blew 7 saves.

He is regarded as one of the best closers in the game, so this will help the Mets. Since they are trying to catch the division rival, World Champion Phillies, this move made sense, because they had one of the worst bull pens in baseball last year. But the Phillies still have them on this one, as Brad Lidge may not have had as many saves, but he was perfect, and didn't blow 1 save all season. The Mets new prize man blew 7. Lidge also had a lower ERA (1.95), and had more stike outs (92).

So basically, the Mets still suck.
