Plax 4 Prez Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Glavine set to face Pujols, Cardinals New York (23-14) at St. Louis (24-14), Tuesday, 8:10 p.m. ET The first-place teams in the NL East and Central divisions open a three-game series, with the Mets trying to rebound after losing five of their last seven games. The Mets have Tom Glavine pitching in the first game against the Cardinals on Tuesday, and they will be wary of Albert Pujols. "He's having a monster year so far. He's killing the ball," manager Willie Randolph said. "He's something special. He's one of those guys like Barry Bonds. You have to know when he's coming up. He's a phenomonal player." Randolph said he would treat Pujols the same way he treats Bonds. "You have to be, obviously, very conscious of where he is and makes sure he doesn't hurt you," he said. "You don't want anybody, any big boy, to hurt you in a certain spot. "It depends on where we are in the lineup and where we are in the game, [but] I'll treat him the same way I treat Barry Bonds. But I don't think you are going to go into the game feeling like you are going to walk him every time you see his face." Cliff Floyd, batting .197 with three home runs and 14 RBIs, was rested the final two games of the weekend series with Milwaukee. He is expected to be starting in left field for the Cardinals series. Pitching matchup NY: LHP Tom Glavine (5-2, 2.19 ERA) He is 17-6 with a 3.58 ERA in 34 career starts against the Cardinals. MIL: RHP Jeff Suppan (4-2, 4.58 ERA) After starting 0-2, Suppan has won his last four starts. He has a 2.39 ERA in those four victories. Player to watch Pujols is 9-for-17 in his career against Glavine, but all of his hits have been singles.

xxi-xxv Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Note to Jose Reyes: You have been playing like shit, are as selective at the plate as an 18 year old virgin at a brothel and your head has been up your ass for 2 weeks.

gateb Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I expect Reyes to go 0 for his next 21 because he just hit a home run. When was the last home run by Wright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
