On Deck: Friday May 2, 2008 – D-Backs

New York Mets (14-12) at Arizona Diamond Backs (20-8)   9:40pm

John Maine (2-2) vs. Micah Owings (4-0)

TV: SNY   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets are in Phoenix for a three game series this weekend that will be the best team they’ve faced this season. John Maine has been fair this season and hasn’t been able to capture the magic he had in spring training where he was unhittable. Micah Owings is a tough draw for the Mets to start the series. He’s in the Babe Ruth mold, a pitcher that’s probably more valuable as a hitter. The guy is a really dangerous hitter, as evidenced by his pinch hit two run homer to win the game for the D-Backs the other night. Oh by the way, he’s 4-0 as a pitcher as well. Tough game and series for the Mets.
