IGT 04/30, Fishsticks at Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

I thik the Mets certainly have contingency plans, and are probably deeper than most in starting pitching. It just didn't work out last night. From which I don't want to draw broad conclusions. Certainly, I'd rather draw them from the rest of the month. And John Maine --- rather than waiting to step in when somebody else goes down --- is leading the league in ERA.

Neither Maine nor Perez were going to be anybody's contingency plans, as they were each out of options, and the Mets would have lost them if they tried to warehouse either.
