" I'm Brian Weber please be -- about foxsports.com senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal previewing the outstanding matchup you can see on the end mobile spots this weekend and you'll be in New York for the Mets and the rays have these two teams but a disappointment so far this year."

" I would say that. The Mets obviously have had their share of injuries and lost two of their best hitters Delgado and Reyes to of their starting pitchers -- resident John Maine. It there without their closer Billy Wagner of course replaced him. But since lost their setup man J. J. Putz. To really what they've done actually is a testament to their resiliency. There's still in the thick of this thing and they feel that once their injured players return they're going to be a really strong competitive position. The rays yes they were a disappointment for the first two months but in recent weeks they've started to play much better. This team is the team I picked to win the World Series I'm going to stand behind them as long as possible. But keep in mind they're going to need some things that happen. They don't have a true closer right now ideally they would like to add one right now that is kind of mixing and matching with the bullpen. For starters need to be better and Kazmir off the disabled list pitching well again he David Price to really become a force. And just overall Sonnanstine as well needs to improve. No offense one of the best in the majors not an issue there but even with the offense there's some room for growth. Dioner Navarro the catcher's been huge disappointment. And -- world now coming off the DL maybe -- About the Cardinals take out the -- the makings of a good match and now Chris Carpenter Brian Bannister.

Carpenter has shown a game when he is healthy -- is one of the top pitchers in Major League Baseball right there with -- when you might want to me. Whether -- Roy Halladay Tim Lincecum. Carpet or on any given day is as good as any of the Brian Bannister quite in car class but he's a guy who goes out there usually gives his team a chance to win. He's one of those players at the Mets never should've traded. They got back for him. Emirates Burgos. In the amateur careers. Finally team's leading division the Brewers and Tigers meet Detroit would expect and that's one. The real question now with the Tigers is whether they can revive their offense. It's pretty huge disappointment this season Magglio Ordonez the possible long ago of course the loss of clothes into injury. Tigers are funny team last year we expected him to score 902000. -- didn't do that hugely disappointing season. In this -- with the idea it was go to war pitching in the fans orientation. It's served them well but right now what are they looking for a back. As for the Brewers we know what they can do offensively they are very strong offensive club we've seen it time and again this year. The of their players were struggling. -- or Corey Hart well they're starting to get hot too. The gap for the Brewers in the second half. Usually catch EM LB out -- at 4 PM eastern for -- on Brian. In the summer. --"
