The Mets (26-26) are in San Diego again tonight, to take on the Padres (31-20). Mike Pelfrey (7-1, 2.54) looks to continue his strong start to the season against Wade LeBlanc (2-3, 3.71).
For a primer on the Padres, check out Joe’s interview with Geoff Young of the great Padres blog Ducksnorts. You can also check out Long Live Shea Stadium for some more info on LeBlanc’s recent struggles.

Braves up 3-0 over Phillies on a Hinske HR… It's absolutely POURING in Atlanta.

Why in the world would anyone pick up his contract? I know it is one year but still… makes me think if the Mets DFA Perez they might find a suitor.
I'm calling it right now at 10:21pm Eastern… Pelfrey no-hitter.
Gross… Is that a snot rope on Warthen's lip? Or did he just eat some spicy chili?
I really hope Matthew Lillard plays Nick Hundley in The David Eckstein Story.
Of course, Eckstein will be played by a 12-year old MacCauley Culkin for the Angels years and David Spade for the Padres years.
Running with one out and Pelfrey batting? Nice job Frenchy!!!!
Oh well. That dream lasted all of 11 minutes.
Barajas finally throws out someone attempting to steal — and it's a catcher.
If Lillard plays Hundley then who plays Chris Denorfia?
That's EASY – Will Janowitz

who is this kid in the booth with ron/gary – oh it is kevin burkehart? LOL
What do you think Keith is doing right now? Do you think he actually watches west coast road games?
Reminds me a bit of Peter Jennings and his pronunciation of "Nee – coo – RAH – gwa"
Tigers included cash in the deal. Considering that D-Train is a better hitter than Gary Matthews Jr., I'm assuming the Rockies expect to pay at least $2M for Willis' batting skills.

Nico Ragwa – isn't he in AAA?
Careful, Kevin — Mr. Burkhardt is tall. Very tall. Very nice, but very tall.
Keith is starting charging a bunt to start a 3-6-3 double play.
In his sleep.
Ulysses S. Grant is pitching.
Joaquin Andujar is batting.
Bernie Carbo is the runner on first base.

oh boo… i can't embed videos?
here's the live feed from the SNY booth – http://movieclips.com/watch/airplane-1980/kareem-…
He had a great line about Paul Bunyan.
Well done.
So can the argument that Pelfrey is going to "regress to the mean" be dropped at this point. It doesn't matter how this game ends, Pelfrey is a matured pitcher and we can expect this pitcher to show up every start.
I agree 100%. I think last season may be the outlier. Pelfrey is solid.
I hope so, and believe so. I've said since 2006 that Pelfrey will become a bonafide MLB pitcher when he establishes an offspeed pitch. This year he's using a forkball for offspeed, and whaddya know?
For the 18th time in three days, someone in the SNY booth mentions the "closed door meeting" between Jerry Manuel and Jeff Francoeur after a Francoeur base hit. AS IF Manuel's "wisdom" were the reason for the hot streak. Shoot me now!
