Frank Francisco had an early meeting with his manager, three interview sessions with the same pack of reporters and was booed by the home crowd while protecting a ninth-inning lead. Life is never bland when you're a struggling closer in New York. "I like the challenge," Francisco said Monday night after saving a 3-1 victory for Miguel Batista and the surprising Mets against the Milwaukee Brewers. "It seems very interesting here. I expect to see you guys when I get on a roll."
