Perez is 0-1 with a 11.94 ERA in his last three starts and is 1-3 with a 6.61 ERA in four career starts versus the Padres.

RHP Cha Seung Baek (1-2, 5.60 ERA) takes the hills for the Padres. Baek took the loss in his last start on June 2 versus the Cubs surrendering four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two in 4.1 IP. This is first career start versus the Mets.

News: Casanova Back, Cancel Down

by Matthew Cerrone on June 7th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

Raul Casanova is back with the team, following time spent on bereavement leave.

As such, Robinson Cancel is headed to Triple-A New Orleans.

…you know, because when down one outfielder, i.e. Ryan Church, and with a weak-hitting bench, it’s super important to carry three catchers along with Abraham Nunez, who was hitting .133 in Triple-A before being called up to the Mets

…i mean, are these guys even trying to field the best 25–man roster at this point…i just don’t get it
