Pi Day Showdown: Mets-Tigers

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Winner gets a Hostess apple pie.

Big day for Pelfrey (scheduled to relieve Maine) and Johnson (leading off).

So far Maine's given up a leadoff solo HR to Granderson but that's it thru 4 innings. I suppose Pelfrey is next.

Johnson is 0-2 and the Mets haven't done dick against Kenny Rogers.

1-0 Tigers

Stop Rogers, stop.

One would hope that prospect Felix Pie is playing in the Cubbies' game today.
Although, sadly for jokesters everywhere, he pronounces his name: pee-AY

Who, Rogers?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Pelfrey is still unscored-upon this spring..

Gave up a few hits last inning but whiffed Carlos Gullen with 2nd & 3rd, 1 out then got Timo Perez to fly out.

Still 1-0

Kenny Rogers pitched well for the Mets. And that bases-loaded walk that he's reviled for took place in Atlanta.

Having the words NEW YORK on his jersey probably had nothing to do with the location of that pitch.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Pelfrey allows his first run of the spring on a solo Homer by Marcus Thames.

Punchless Mets lose 2-0.

Ben Johnson: 0-4

Doesn't sound like it would be fair to hold this one against Johnson, given that nobody else appeared to do much with the bat.

I blame Oprah Winfrey.
