Mets better buckle up. Road trip looks rough.

The Mets start a 3 game set tonight against the Florida Marlins and it could be a long road trip for our friends in blue and orange.

The Mets are of course without Wright at least until Sept 1st which would be the Rockies Series a week from today. The Mets might just let him stay home until after that series. Francoeur who has been hitting over .300 since coming to the Mets most likely will miss a little time with the torn ligament in his thumb. Now with Johan getting a MRI today on his elbow he wont be in there to give them Mets some hope on the mound.

The Mets are sending Figgy, Big Pelf and Redding to the mound in this 3 game series against the Marlins. Some of the numbers against Pelf and Redding are just plain ugly.

Against Pelf who is 1-5 against the Marlins.

Jorge Cantu .375, 1 RBI, 16 AB
John Baker .364, 2 RBI, 11 AB
Cody Ross .357, 3 RBI, 14 AB
Dan Uggla .333, 8 RBI, 21 AB

Against Redding who has an ERA of over 5 against the Marlins.

Jeremy Hermida .588, 1 HR, 9 RBI, 17 AB
Hanley Ramirez .500, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 16 AB
John Baker .500, 2 AB
Jorge Cantu .400, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 15 AB

Also Josh Johnson is 6-0 lifetime against the Mets and a ERA around 2 who faces Pelftrey on Wednesday.

Are we happy with the Mets winning 1 of these 3 games? The Mets have done there best in staying in games and really fighting . Even though they lost 3 out of 4 to the Phillies they really did not lay down. Especially in the game on Sunday. With the Mets sending a minor league lineup out everyday at least some of the guys are still giving it all.

Thanks to Mr Rubin for the Stats.
