At this rate, give Freddie Sunday off as well with the off day on Monday. Get ready for Washington.

Why is Markakis 4th and KJ 3rd? Would think we would want our 3 best OBP guys in a row followed by our best 2 power bats.

That seems to be the plan.

Baby Harang gonna be huge tonight

[The Chosen One]

Expecting Williams to overshadow Wisler. Performance wise and in stature.

"Terry Collins said Jeurys Familia unlikely to be used tonight. Still feeling groin issue, although improved. May skip series."

Yea.

Are we still on the Perez train?

[cajunrevenge]

Yea.

Are we still on the Perez train?

At this point I am afraid to hop on the bandwagon because I think as soon as I do he will come crashing down to reality. The Mets are a glorified AAA hitting team right now though.

I think I may be driving it, lol. But I am pretty sure nsacpi is another poster that has been on it for some time now too.

That said, I don't expect him to keep up this pace but I do like his potential to be a solid number 5 starter or better.

[NinersSBChamps]

Makes sense. Bench CJ against a left handed pitcher.

I am on that locomotive as well. Saw his start against Boston. First time I saw him pitch. I like him a lot.

That's a good post on the days we go against a LHP. Tonight is not one of those nights, however.

Mets pitcher is RHP but bats lefty

[cajunrevenge]

Perez benefits greatly from the ridiculous infield defense we have.

[Garmel]

The Mets unis make my eyes hurt.

[Braves1976]

The great infield defense is why we should have more groundball pitchers IMO. In other words, make the most of such great defense up the middle.

I said that out loud and cracked up.
