The Pitchers:
- Cardinals: J.P. (that's what I call Pineiro) faces the New York Metropolitans on Wednesday. J.P. is 2-0 to date, but he hasn't exactly shutdown his opponents (5.40 ERA). That comes with a 1.80 WHIP and a whole heap of concern. On the bright side, J.P. didn't lose either of his starts against the Metropolitans last season (nevermind the fact he gave up 9 runs in 9 IP). So what should we expect? Not much.
- Mets: John Maine is starting for the Metropolitans Wednesday. He seems underqualified. (Note: Maine was crap in his only start against the Cardinals last year: 4 IP, 7 H, 3 BB, 5 R, and 3 ER.)
The Lineups:
- Cardinals: Albert "The Machine" Pujols (surprise!) has 2 dingers (homeruns, round-trippers, 4-baggers, etc.) and 2 other hits in a mere 9 ABs against the Maine man. Others have been alright, but not exceptional. I feel alright about this.
- Mets: Jose Reyes and David Wright (WRONG! (get it?)) have enjoyed some success against J.P. That said, I think they're both crap. Forgive my inability to be objective, I just don't like these guys.
Well that's it in the way of analysis(?). Wish I were in St. Louis. GO CARDS!!
