I don't know who Rico Garcia is, and when the Mets started to accept volunteers in the pen, but he pitched two scoreless innings in an otherwise forgettable game, and we should keep him. The rest of the tossers that were paraded out and invariably got beaten around can go back to where the pepper grows...
