The Lineup:
- SS Jose Reyes
- RF Ryan Church
- 3B David Wright
- CF Carlos Beltran
- LF Moises Alou
- 1B Carlos Delgado
- C Brian Schneider
- 2B Luis Castillo
- P Oliver Perez
The Pitchers:
LHP Oliver Perez (2-2, 4.03 ERA) toes the rubber for the Mets. In his last start on April 30 versus the Pirates, Perez allowed a season high seven runs, two earned, on two hits and five walks while striking out two, earning a loss.

RHP Chad Billingsley (1-4, 5.20 ERA) starts for the Dodgers. Billingsley earned a win in his last outing on April 30 versus the Marlins allowing one ru on three hits while walking four and striking out eight. Left-handed batters are hitting .300 against Billingsley this season. This is Billingsley’s first career start versus the Mets.
…i have no idea what to expect out of perez tonight…after looking erratic in his last two outings it’s possible ollie could go out and throw seven shutout innings, looking dominate doing so…i mean, thats how inconsistent he is from start to start…you never know what you’re gonna get with him…let’s hope it’s the “good” ollie tonight…
The Notes:
David Wright is batting .404 (21-for-52) with 1 HR and 13 RBI in his career at Dodger Stadium.
Ryan Church is 22-for-57 (.386) with 2 2B, 2 HR, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored on the road this season.
The Dodgers are 10-3 since April 21, batting .314 and averaging 7.23 runs per game.
Jeff Kent is batting .348 with 1 HR and 4 RBI in 23 career at-bats versus Perez.

I’m taking a polaroid of that lineup. I figure we won’t see it that often, but it’s perfect.
Well, 1-8 is perfect. We should wait and see which guy shows up in the 9-slot.
Brian Schneider catching? Would be interesting if that helped Ollie find his better self tonight! All we can do is cross our fingers but… I’m just saying
EVERYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Let Go Mets!
40K’s in 27.1 innings for Billingsly is scary to me… hes no joke..
And he has a 5.20 era = 8.0IP 0ER effort against the mets.
1. A slow start does not mean he is bad. Check the stats from his last game.
2. Check his stats from last year.
3. Anyone that K’s 40 in 27.1 IP has potential to be lights out on a given night.
What’s up with the B-lineup Willie?
On the SNY pregame they showed a graphic that David Wright is hitting .461 against the Dodgers in 23 games.
“willie’s finally playing with a full deck”
classic
ive got billingsley in my fantasy league and i am torn abt whether or not i should start him, 4 other guys started tonight, era of .80 w 28 Ks…so its only likely to hurt me if i start Chad….but i kno if i sit him, he will pitch a gem w 12Ks..oh the trouble of starting pitchers vs your fave team
As much as I hate to do it, I’m starting Chad Billingsly on my team. The fact that he was lights out his last start, we are 1-8 vs. righties, and vegas has the Dodgers as big favorites tonight makes me pretty confident that the mets will lose.
Yet I gotta say, LETS GO METS!
i did it, started chad, here we go, hoping for a pitches duel lol
This is why I hate fantasy sports.
We aren’t 3 minutes into the game and he brings up September.
Who did? I missed it? (sometimes I zone into the game and can’t hear the commentary)
Okay Ollie, don’t piss off Wagner tonight, that’s all I ask…
Wagner is not pleased.
Steve Sanders.
An 0-2 homer to a guy who’s as big as my niece. Good start Ollie
lolll
giving up homeruns on 0-2 pitches is unforgiveable.
i feel like our pitchers give up a ton more HR then other staffs
i know it feels like that because we hit so few
here we go again……………
At least he’s not walking people
ready for new orleans
wow……………………….whadathrow
ouch
I love Jeff Kent, I wish he decided to get good with the Mets.
talk about a target lol hope he was wearing a cup lol
is it just me or has perez’s velocity been down since all-star break of last year?
ahaha maybe this will knowck back into form
Looks like we came to play tonight. I’m so glad Matt waited for the 2 wins in AZ for the Willie poll…maybe now he can get that positive feedback he’s been waiting for…
Why not just drop the poll altogether at this point? Even Willie’s biggest supporters know that the polls will only be taken/posted when the Mets win a big series. If the polls were done fairly, I would have probably given him a six or seven, instead I gave him a one, because I took the disappearing one into account. You can’t just do a poll when things are going well and expect it to be balanced.
Wow…i gave him a 3. I should have given him a 1 to balance it out the 10s.
No passed balls Schneider
Has anything been hit soft yet?
