Word, he was lights-out, it was very troubling to watch Benitez blow saves all the time after watching several great years of Nen.

What happened to Lidge though? I brought up this poll because I would have gone with him hands-down coming into the season after last year's performance, but I think he has 7 blown saves now!!! This is a hard question so early into the year, but I'd go K-Rod with Papelbon 2nd, even though I dislike both players.
I got a bird's eye view

Nothing better then that late game in 97 on a windy day at the stick when the shooter locked up the NL west Title for us with a huge save against SD.

^^Yes those were some great memories. Beck was a good closer, Benitez was the Mets putting a paper bag of dogshit on our doorstep and lighting it on fire.

By the way, Rivera and Rodgriguez both struggled yesterday, although K-Rod's problem was Luis Castillo making one of the worst plays in baseball history.

^^Yeah, I didn't want to put too many people on the list when it was obvious they weren't going to be the choice, and his stats don't quite measure up. As long as he keeps getting the job done, I don't care how it happens, although I prefer the ones where he strikes out everyone and doesn't get into a bases-loaded jam.

k rod was a gangster today so he earned some respect from me, but i'm sure if he pulled that shit on brox brox would blow him away with a dodger dog fart (all my dodger compadres know what i'm talking about)

Mariano is a g, one of the few Yanks I respect, dude's been amazing for years and years, but currently I think the winner is K Rod.
