BIG PELF

Hard sinking fastball(92-93mph), straight changeup(83-84mph), late-breaking slider(81-85mph). Mike Pelfrey's repertoire. I've never seen his stuff look that good. His fastball was really sinking and his slider actually looked like it had some bite on it. It was nothing like last year's flat slider that routinely got hammered. I still wish he'd bring back the big hook though.

*Ian Kennedy: sensitive to water. What? Talk about embarrassing for the Yankees. Joe Girardi was banking on a rainout last night, he started his bullpen and ended up using Kennedy in relief. "It was a great idea. Unfortunately we played through the hard stuff", Jason Giambi said, meaning yes, indeed, they were hoping for a rainout. No wonder they didn't score any runs, they weren't trying. Girardi had them all thinking the game would get called.

*Can the Mets just forget about Orlando Hernandez now? He's bringing the organization down. The continued bad news he brings is only hurting. People talk about him like he's an important part of the team, but the best thing he does is create hilarious headlines like, "Hernandez to wear a boot for two weeks".

*I think the Phillies have the same number of holes in their squad to match the Metsies. Yikes. Looked like they were playing under a tent last night. Get it, cuz a circus is performed under a tent?.... Ugh.

*Braves closer Rafael Soriano was placed on the DL with an elbow injury. I guess that explains his rapid loss of velocity in Sunday's game.
