Crucial Week

This week the Mets finish off their series with the Astros and then head to Philadelphia for a 2 game set with the Phillies. Then they head to Florida to take on the struggling Marlins. As I write this the Mets are tied in the loss column with the Phillies and 5 up on the Marlins.

Tonight, Mike Pelfrey will take the hill for the Mets and Brian Moehler will start for the Astros. This is a must win game for the Mets, especially if they want to head into Philly tied or a game up on them. Since the end of the Peterson era, Pelfrey has been the Mets most consistent pitcher not name Johan Santana.
