The Mets return to their southern home tonight for three against the Fish. I know there will be at least 2 Mets fans in attendance as I will be going to the game with them trying to shout them down.
The Mets are 4-6 and the Marlins are 5-5 in their last ten August 29th games. This year though the Mets are 5-5 in Friday road games, while the Marlins are 3-7 in Friday home games.
Even worse stats: the Marlins "are 4-11 in their last 15 Fri. games", while the Mets "7-2 in their last 9 road games" and are "13-4 in the last 17 meetings in Florida". (USAToday)
Speaking of home, the ballfield was freshly trampled last night by the first ever regular season home game by the Hurricanes in their new home stadium (They won.)
Chris Volstad, who Fredi has no intentions of shutting down, goes up against Oliver Perez ("the Mets have won all four times Perez has pitched against the Marlins.")

SODA-IN-THE-STANDINGS: Mets are 7-up on the Marlins. Fish are just one game over .500 for the year.
