Gameday Open Thread: June 1 @ San Diego
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.

In his sleep.
Ulysses S. Grant is pitching.
Joaquin Andujar is batting.
Bernie Carbo is the runner on first base.

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.
