A Penny Saved is a Penny Burned

And then there are some perfectly good pitchers whose asses the Mets have thoroughly kicked. They are the anti-Hong-Chih Kuo's of the world...

Like Brad Penny
5-12 against the Mets
88-57 against others

Like Steve Carlton
30-36 against the Mets
299-208 against others

Like Rick Reuschel
14-25 against the Mets
200-166 against others

Like Nelson Briles
5-16 against the Mets
124-96 against others

Like Ken Holtzman
5-11 against the Mets (though he beat the Mets twice in the 1973 WS)
169-139 against others

Like Roger Clemens
3-6 against the Mets (with a 4.89 ERA)
351-178 against others

Those who will truly save a penny on tickets at Citifield know... Hong Chih-Kuo has the same number of wins against the Mets as Roger Clemens.
