Mets vs. Twins
Shea Stadium
Flushing New York

Pitching matchup

NYM: LHP Oliver Perez (7-5, 2.93 ERA)
Perez was brilliant in blanking the Yankees last Friday, in what would become the team's only Subway Series bright spot. He went 7 1/3 innings, allowing just five hits and three walks in a classic "effectively wild" performance that earned him his team-leading seventh win. He'll go for his eighth against the Twins, against whom he sports an 0-1 record despite a 1.17 ERA.

MIN: RHP Scott Baker (1-2, 7.33 ERA)
Baker has struggled after appearing to right himself in Triple-A. His first start back in the bigs was a dandy -- 8 1/3 innings, two runs, no walks -- but since then, he's posted a 9.64 ERA in four starts. The control expert has never seen the Mets in a three-year American League career.

Player to watch
Second baseman Luis Castillo's 32-game Shea Stadium hitting streak may have ended on Monday night, but he's liable to start another one against Perez. In 14 career at-bats against the lefty he has five hits, good for a .357 average.

VOTE FOR Lo DUCA! LETS GO METS!

15 Votes. That's OK lets shoot for more this time. Maybe the topic wasn't the most exciting, but it was pretty much even.

6 votes- Jason Kendall  
5 votes- Alex Rodriguez  
4 votes- Armando Benitez
0 votes- Craig Biggio
              Julio Lugo

Personally I thought Benitez would get the most votes. Due to the fact the poll was put up the day after he balked Reyes home.

Enjoy the next poll!
