Pavano has been pitching really well and won three straight games. His last start was a complete game win against Philly in which he only gave up 1 run.

Preview: Tigers at Mets June 23, 2010

Detroit Tigers (38-31) at New York Mets (40-30)  7:10 pm

Jeremy Bonderman (3-4 4.06) vs R.A. Dickey (5-0 2.82)

TV: SNY, ESPN   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: Bonderman’s last two starts have been very good. He’s given up 4 ER over 14 IP but it was against the Nats and Pirates. We all know what Dickey’s been doing this season. I keep hoping he can keep the magic going for one more start.

Mets Home Stand Preview: June 22-27, 2010

April 27 2010: Fans cheer for their team during game 2 of a double header MLB game between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citi Field in Flushing, New York. The Mets beat the Dodgers 10-5.

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsAfter the longest (and ironically most successful) road trip of the season, the Mets are returning to the friendly confines of Citi Field.

Unfortunately, the best two teams in the AL Central will be awaiting them.

Tuesday, June 22nd: Tigers (Verlander) vs. Mets (Niese) 7:10 PM
Wednesday, June 23rd: Tigers (Bonderman) vs. Mets (Dickey) 7:10 PM ESPN
Thursday, June 24th: Tigers (Galarraga) vs. Mets (Takahashi) 7:10 PM MLB Network
Friday, June 25th: Twins (Slowey) vs. Mets (Pelfrey) 7:10 PM
Saturday, June 26th: Twins (Pavano) vs. Mets (Santana) 1:10 PM
Sunday, June 27th: Twins (Baker) vs. Mets (Niese) 1:10 PM

The 2nd place Tigers are led offensively by Miguel Cabrera, who leads the majors in home runs (19) and runs batted in (60). Detroit is 8-2 in their past ten games, so the Mets would be wise to not overlook this Tigers’ team which has been hot lately. Continue reading “Mets Home Stand Preview: June 22-27, 2010”

TV: SNY   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Tigers come to town 1.5 games behind the Twins in the AL Central. They’ve won 8 of their last 9 games. Verlander has some nasty stuff and hasn’t really pitched poorly since May 25. He’s won his last three starts. Niese has pitched just as well or better since coming off the DL on June 5. He’s made three starts in that time and allowed 4 runs and won all three games.
