great timing for the rain. now we might win a game and not risk rushing pelfrey back up again

Rey-YES

He hasn't pitched since Sunday. Will he go with 8 days' rest on Tuesday, or will he throw some innings for NO tomorrow or Saturday, or will he be bypassed entirely in favor of Humber (who pitched shutout ball in his last start)?

Stay tuned.

At Coors? Ugh. Bad match up for either Pelfrey or Humber.

Pick your poison. It's either that or at CBP against the team that's chasing us. All I can say is thank God for rain.

Mets.com says the rainout has delayed his recall as well. I guess it's possible he goes one of the other games and pushes everyone else back a day???

Still, it's stupid to call him up for tomorrow when he's not needed for tomorrow.

All I know is, the rainout is a blessing in so many damn ways. Steaming temps, team's bullpen now gets two straight days of rest after being abused on Monday/Tuesday.

Time to rock and roll.

Rey-YES

It's one of them unless they throw Sele to the lions. No really good choice there.

Honestly, Pelfrey matches up well in either CBP or Coors as long as his fastball is on. Remember, he's got a sinking fastball, which induces ground balls. In extreme HR parks a guy like Pelfrey could have some success.

Steve, do you ever sit at your computer, look up at the ceiling, stare back at your computer screen, maybe look in a mirror, and then go back to the computer screen and think, "Wow, I'm f*cking worthless"? - DDP

Isn't it throwing Sele to the lions everytime he pitches? "Throw Sele to the lions" is a shorter way of saying, "Now pitching for the Mets, Aaron Sele, you may now randomly add +2/+4/+6 runs to the opposition's score on your scorecards."

Dave Williams went 6.1 innings last night, so I'm not sure why he isn't an option? Seems like he can handle a decent work load right away, which is the one thing that's been killing Pelfrey all year. I'd be willing to bet that he can stretch 100 pitches out further...

Throwing Sele to the lions is a shorter way of saying "Shoenweis just got his limbs ripped off and is currently crawling around the mound on bloody stumps because the lions shredded him like an incriminating picture of Willie Randolph and Julio Franco"

Come on now, we all know Sele has done an excellent job for us. Such is the word of Medford.

That's a great point. By the time we need an extra starter, we should be able to activate Williams (and hopefully DFA Sele).

Nonsense. Schoenweis could still pitch. That's just a flesh wound!

No---such is the delusion of people who can't read. There happens to be a slight difference between "decent as a mop-up" and "great", but I understand that this is a difficult concept to grasp.

As for Tuesday's game, there is one other possibility I thought of this morning. IF (I know that's another concept often difficult to grasp) either Maine or Duque has a relatively easy outing today, he could pitch on 3 days' rest on Tuesday. That would give each of the 5 starters one more start after today before the break, instead of one of them getting 8 or 9 days off between starts.
