3 in a row, Win 7-3

The World is upside down. Jeff Francoeur walked (it was an intentional walk, but we're making progress). Fernando 6-4-3 Tatis hit a pinch hit grand slam instead of grounding into a double play. And Oliver Perez pitched well. Okay, so that didn't happen. He didn't pitch all that badly, and if he wasn't making $12 million a year for those kinds of starts, I'd be okay with that. 5 innings, 3 runs, 5 hits, 4 walks, 5 strikeouts. And 2 homers. Brian Stokes pitched 2 scoreless innings in relief. He's been good recently. Feliciano, who got the win struck out 2 in his scoreless inning, and K-Rod pitched the 9th, and happily for Mets fans did not make it interesting. The win takes minds off of the Tony Bernazard/Adam Rubin called out by Omar fiasco. The Daily News rips Omar. Amazin Avenue has an interesting take on Adam Rubin. Back to the baseball field, Luis Castillo went 2/3 with a walk, and saw his OBP rise above .400. He seems to have put the dropped ball behind him. David Wright went 2/3 with a walk, and Daniel Murphy and Cory Sullivan both drove in runs in the 6th inning. Jeff Francoeur homered for the 3rd time as a Met. Great, I just hope he keeps it up. And, for the 3rd straight day, Jerry Manuel did not make a stupid decision, though pinch hitting Tatis could've back fired. If he had done what 6-4-3 Tatis usually does.
Stupid Decision of the Day: None
Random Thought of the Day: How long do we have to have a short bench? Are the Wilpons that cheap now? Also, now that Tony Bernazard is gone, and seeing how Omar messed up the press conferenece, I'd be worried about Omar's job security. Apparently Tony B. was friends with COO Jeff Wilpon.
Clutch Play of the Day: Fernando Tatis hits a pinch hit grand slam. +21.1% WPA.

Mike Pelfrey (7-6 4.99 ERA, 4.24 FIP, 4.88 tRA) looks to repeat what he did in his last start, and not do the good start bad start routine. He faces the National league Win leader.
