Pregame: Mets vs. Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals host the New York Mets tonight at Busch Stadium.  For the Cardinals RHP Todd Wellemeyer squares off against the Mets LHP Oliver Perez.  Perez and the Mets hope that he stays as consistent tonight as he was in his last outing when he went six innings giving up only one run on three hits with four strikeouts.

Starting Lineup:

1. Jose Reyes, SS
2. Daniel Murphy, LF
3. David Wright, 3B
4. Carlos Delgado, 1B
5. Carlos Beltran, CF
6. Ryan Church, RF
7. Ramon Castro, C
8. Luis Castillo, 2B
9. Oliver Perez, P

I would have liked to see Manuel switch up the lineup and put Wright in the fifth spot and Beltran in the 3rd spot just to see if they can get their offense rolling.
