MILWAUKEE — In a race to the bottom in which everybody associated with the Mets loses, Jason Vargas and AJ Ramos are galloping like Secretariat but without a finish line in sight.
The duo is earning $15.225 million combined this season, money at this point that might as well have been set ablaze during a Citi Field pep rally. On Saturday, the beleaguered starter and equally befuddled reliever combined to waste a rare Mets offensive outburst in a 17-6 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park.
