Starting the 2nd Half on a bad foot

So, in Jeff Francoeur's return to Atlanta, he gets a nice standing ovation, lines into a double play (not his fault), goes 0-4 with an RBI groundout, and the Mets lose, 5-3. Oliver Perez was like his last start out, except he only walked 4, and he got his era just under 8 at 7.99. No, we lost because our offense could only get 3 runs, and the lineup is ridiculously top heavy. 1-4 got 5 hits, and only Murphy, batting 6th got the other Mets hit. We also lost because our bullpen was worse then theirs, as in, ours (thanks to messrs Feliciano and Parnell) gives up 2, and theirs nothing.
Stupid Decision of the Day
The only one I can think of is letting Misch pitch to Anderson and Diaz. They've been good against lefties, especially Diaz who is at a .365/.422/.514 clip against them. And right handed, and he sucks against righties. But then Kotchman is good against righties, and sucks against lefties, so I'm just rambling here. This is only a small stupid move.

Hopefully Mets win tonight.
Pelfrey (7-4, 4.47 ERA, 4.00 FIP)
Jurrjens (7-7, 2.91 ERA, 3.81 FIP)
