Newsday: Matthews - No sense of relief in this Mets victory

The daily edition of Jerry Manuel humor about his team/bullpen (and it doesn’t even include his “Johan will be throwing nine innings, 170 pitches tomorrow” crack).  Poor guy is going to have to go into rehab in the offseason, since he probably has to use something to get through the day.

But in the Mets dugout, Jerry Manuel didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “These guys, they’ll turn a laugher into a tearjerker,” he said.
...
“This was not fun,” Manuel acknowledged. “You think that’s fun, walking out to the mound every three minutes? People didn’t come here to see me do that. They came to see the players play.”
...
“I still got some guys left,” Manuel joked when it was pointed out to him that despite opening a six-run lead, he still needed to use seven pitchers in relief of Brandon Knight, who got through five shaky but mostly harmless innings.
