The pitching matchups for this weekend's series against the Nationals favor the Mets, and here are the reasons why:
Game 1: Scott Olsen vs. Johan Santana
"We drinkin' Santana champ cause it's so crisp!" Oh, and Scott Olsen is terrible.
Game 2: Daniel Cabrera vs. Mike Pelfrey
Umm, the Mets are facing Daniel Alberto Cruz Cabrera.
Game 3: Jordan Zimmerman vs. Oliver Perez
Sandy Koufax, age 27 statistics: 311 IP, 1.88 ERA, 5.28 K/BB
Oliver Perez is 27 years old. You do the math.
