Hey Everybody!
I'll be around at 4:00 today during the Mets game against the Braves in Atlanta. Stop on by to discuss what is going on with the boys from Flushing, who suffered another injury last night when Gary Sheffield pulled up in left field with "right leg cramps." He clutched his hamstring and noted that the cramps were in his hammy. The team is saying it is not serious though, and he hopeefully won't miss too much time. With this team, you never know.
In the end last night, the Mets dropped their second straight to the Braves, this one by a score of 11-0. Mike Pelfrey was awful again, allowing 9 runs in 4.1 innings. The line-up managed just 2 hits off Jair Jurrjens win 6 innings while the rest of the Braves bullpen threw 3 hitless innings. It was another ugly loss.
Today, Johan Santana will try to stop the bleeding as he has a favorable match-up against Kenshin Kawakami. Santana comes in at 10-7 with a 3.09 ERA. He won his last start, a 4-0 triumph over the Reds. He's 0-1 vs. Atlanta this year, losing 8-3 on May 11th. He gave up 2 unearned runs in 6.1 innings; then the bullpen collapsed. Kawakami is 5-6 with a 4.26 ERA. He beat the Cubs 4-1 in his last outing. He's 0-1 against the Mets this year, losing 4-3 on May 5th. He gave up 2 runs in 5 innings before Mike Gonzalez blew it late.
Here's the Mets line-up this afternoon:
Angel Pagan - CF
Luis Castillo - 2B
Daniel Murphy - 1B
David Wright - 3B
Jeff Francoeur - RF
Jeremy Reed - LF
Omir Santos - C
Alex Cora - SS
Johan Santana - P
See you at 4:00!
