first pitch: 5:19 p.m., PT television: FOX matchup: Jeff Suppan (12-7, 4.12 ERA) vs Oliver Perez (3-13, 6.55 ERA) buy tickets I would love to see the Mets send Albert Pujols and his tired act home for the winter, but Oliver Perez in Game 7? I guess if the Mets can score 12 runs again, they'll be okay. Unfortunately for the home team, Jeff Suppan spun eight shutout innings his last time out against them in Game 3.

Hey, look, football's on this here other channel. Is this playoff matchup serious? Has Oliver Perez finally settled on an arm slot? I'm pulling for the kid to recover from his extremely aggressive promotion while still a member of the Padres organization (four starts at Double-A -- good to go), but is he really the best option the Mets have down 2-1 in the NLCS on the road?

The Mets scored 6.61 runs per game in Trachsel's 30 starts this year, while the Cardinals plated 5.73 per game for Suppan. Gee, must be nice.
