Record: 5-2 Era:1.36 K:67 BB:11 WHIP: 1.04
METS NOTES:
- The Mets, who went 9-6 against the AL last year, are batting .218 with six runs during the slide after averaging 6.2 runs and batting .312 in winning 11 of the previous 13.
- The two-time Cy Young Award winner, however, is coming off his worst performance of the season. He allowed season highs of six runs — four earned — and 11 hits while striking out seven in seven innings as the Mets (21-19)won 9-6 at San Francisco on Saturday.
- That’s also the last time New York won, as the club has dropped a season high-tying four games in a row after falling 2-1 at Los Angeles on Wednesday
- Manuel said J.J. Putz is still dealing with some neck discomfort, but is available

RED SOX TEAM NOTES:
- The Red Sox went 11-7 in interleague play last season, including six wins in nine games at Fenway. They’re 10-8 all-time against the Mets (21-19), sweeping a three-game series in the last meeting June 27-29, 2006.
- The Red Sox (25-16) completed a three-game series sweep of East-leading Toronto on Wednesday with a 5-1 victory. That winning streak has put them one-half game behind the Blue Jays for first place.
- Boston is expected to activate Matsuzaka (0-1, 12.79 ERA) from the disabled list in order for him to make his first start against the Mets. The right-hander has been on the DL with right arm fatigue since April 15, one day after he was tagged for five runs and five hits in one inning of a 6-5, 12-inning loss at Oakland.

By the way, I only live about 30 minutes from where Parnell went to HS. I remember hearing about him back in the day and when the Mets drafted him.

5/22/2009-9:55pm at 9:55 pm (UTC -4)
But I just don’t see who else we have that could get us something. Putz has more trade value than say Church. Can’t trade Murphy unless we’re getting back an infielder who can play first.
I don’t want to see him go either though. Especially after suffering through that God awful BP we had last year and seeing how much better it is this year.
