	W-L	G	GS	CG	SHO	SV	BS	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	K	ERA	WHIP

	W-L	G	GS	CG	SHO	SV	BS	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	K	ERA	WHIP
2008 - Brandon Webb	6-0	6	6	0	0	0	0	41.0	29	11	9	1	14	34	1.98	1.05

Brandon Webb went 6-0 in April with an ERA under two. Mike Pelfrey just completed his first month with an ERA under 4.50 as a big leaguer, and just his second winning month overall (he went 3-1 last September). Pelfrey has been pretty good for most of the season, while Webb is consistently one of the best pitchers in the league.

With Webb going today and Dan Haren on the docket for tomorrow, the Mets really had to win last night against Micah Owings. They roughed up a noticeably wonky Micah Owings and rolled to a 7-2 victory. Carlos Delgado even managed to reach base more times than Owings (3-2), so congrats to those of you who took Big Carlos in the swag contest yesterday.

The game is on the FUX network so, you know, meh.

well,

at least Big Pelf managed not to kill the team with a huge inning there. Odds still seem to be against him making it through 5+ innings, but who knows.
