IGT - Puerto Rico @ Mets

[metirish]

Where - today at 2PM on ESPN.
Pelfry will debut for the Mets.

That's all I know for now, no idea what team the Mets will field as they are playing the Dodgers aswell.

The Mets will pitch j. Gonzalez, Pelfry, Schmoll, Wagner, Perisho and Bell

Puerto Rico is pitching Dicky Gonzalez

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Yesterdays News said that in addition to Pelfrey, the 17 year old million $ man Fernando Martinez will be there, along with Milledge and Hector Pellot.

[Frayed Knot]

We might see the ball-boys before it's all over since it's like a "triple-split" squad. Between the actual split squad who are playing the Dodgers somewhere and the fact that half the team is over in the PR dugout, we've got about 1/3 the team available.

Pretty decent starting lineup though so it must be the LA game that's getting all the scrubs.

[metirish]

Some good pitching form the Gonzalaz boys, Dicky looks bigger than when he was a Met, nice hand and making lots of noise, Steve Phillips is doing the TV color, Millidge playing CF, Nady RF, Floyd LF, Matsui 2b,Castro C, Wright 3b and Harper playing first, Franco is the DH, Puerto Rico scores the first run.

[metirish]

Pedro giving a long interview during the game, when asked about his opening day start he said he hopes to make itis toe is still hurting, hasn't thrown live BP yet, hasn't thrown a breaking ball.....he's a great interview.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Thanks for the heads up - I'm happy to see the Mets on tv for the first time of the year

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Pelfrey gives up a hit and a 4 pitch walk during the inning, but also blew a couple of pitches right past Pudge for a K.

No runs, one hit

[metirish]

Beltran gets a big 2 run double off Wagner, 17 year old Fernando Martinez playing center for the Mets.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Schmoll didn't impress. And what's with his cap covering his eyes?

Perhaps he'd do better if he could see his target?

[seawolf17]

Steve Phillips interviewing Omar Minaya. Yikes.

Great backhanded stop and throw from the shortstop hole by #87.

[Guest ABG]

Milledge has impressed. Decently hit grounder up the middle that got knocked down, ripped double down the line, robbed up against the fence.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Tomorrow's game against Mexico is on ESPN at 4:00.

[Guest KC]

They're playing Cleveland on ESPN at one also.

All Mets, all day. A little practice for SNY.

[Guest cooby]

Thanks, metirish, I wouldn't have known this was on if you hadn't have mentioned it here

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Excellent - I have an afternoon of tv watching in store for tomorrow

[Theoldmole]

Nice running-diving catch by Lastings in left.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Milledge just covered a lot of ground and made a nice, diving catch in left field.

[metirish]

6 to 1 PR, Milledge flashing his glove on a nice catch in LF.

[seawolf17]

And Lastings Milledge also made a nice catch in left field.

(Sorry. Didn't want to feel left out.)

[Guest KC]

Mets lose, season's over before it starts. Freakin' Willie.

[metirish]

Put it in the books, Puerto Rico win 6 to 1, seemd to be a pretty good crowd, was soupcan going to that game?,just great to see Mets baseball again.

[metirish]

Cool, 'Baseball Tonight' for 90 minutes after the Met game.

[MFS62]

While we were watching this one, the rest of the Mets split squad lost 16-2 to LA.
Soler (4 runs allowed) and Jason Scobie (8) got pureed.
The two Met runs were driven in by Chase Lambin.

Edit: Anderson Hernandez had an o-fer.
The only Met error was by Corey Ragsdale. He's in mid-season form already.

Later

[Zvon]

I dont think he HAD to dive for that one.
I thought Kepp was hurt........
He looks fine.

it was.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Not happy to hear about Delgado's elbow trouble. On the broadcast they quoted him as saying he might have to miss the whole Classic.

[Theoldmole]

Hey, how about Milledge's catch in left field?
