Pelfrey 8 wins??? right, maybe in Binghamton…..
The only way Mets win 101 is if everyone is completely healthy and Reyes and Delgado go back to 06 numbers.
Completely healthy won't happen b/c Alou is already hurt and Delgado is not going back to 06 unless he finds a time machine.
Neise tomorrow, who on Wed?
Well if this is correct than we already know that the 5th starter is either Eldud or Pelfrey. And since Eldud is not physically ready, I guess it is Pelf…...
from Rubin NY DN…"Jon Niese will start against the Braves tomorrow in place of Johan Santana, while Bobby Parnell starts against the Marlins on Wednesday in place of Pedro Martinez"
No Sosa for you sloppy.
Is John Maine a good pitcher or what? What a deal getting him!
