Tough loss for Mets and Recker fans

Of all the money the Mets are paying to some high-priced free agents and a third baseman who had missed most of the year and may not be back anytime soon, Mets fans found out yesterday the most important money being paid by the Mets this season is the $523,000 going to Jeurys Familia.

Saturday, we found out just what happens when he's not around - disaster. What would have been a really nice 3-1 win turned into a 5-3 crusher. Instead of having a chance to sweep the Braves Sunday, the Mets send Dillon Gee to the mound hoping to not lose 2 of 3 before the red-hot Blue Jays hit town.
