All you real Met fans out there, how many of you admire Jesse Orosco?
Every Met fan I ask about Jesse tells me, "Oh that guy, he's the worst.
He stinks.  Trade him, etc, etc, etc."  Give me a break.  Did anybody
write off Bruce Sutter after his horendous season last year?  No. Has
anybody even mentioned that Dave Righetti didn't have quite such a
good year?  Jesse Orosco was third in the Cy-Young voting in '83 and
had a club record 33 saves in '84.  His season wasn't all that good
this year but he did have some arm problems.  His stats weren't all
that bad though.  Every body remembers the few games he blew, but does
anybody remember whem he came in (for Roger McDowell) with the bases
loaded and he got out without giving up a run?  Give the guy a chance.
If he screws up next season then you have an argument but god, give
him a break.  No one's perfect!
