There was baseball today

[Guest AG/DC]

An intrasquad scrimmage went down between the Manuel Laborers and the Alomar Cookies. Six innings of fun. Duaner felt good, used all of his pitches, and fanned Fernando Martinez on a change, Joe Smith was hit hard, incuding a Jose Reyes triple_TM. Angel Pagan hit the ball hard to the tune of two hits.

This makes me sad and happy.

[Frayed Knot]

Barring injuries, I don't think Smith has much of a chance to make the team out of ST -- having nothing to do with this particular outing.

[Guest attgig]

do we have a box score at all?

[Guest attgig]

reports also say padilla got through an inning in 8 pitches... 7 of them for strikes.

Ouch, Detroit pulling no punches vs. Church being our only regular in there.

Regulars don't do 150 mile bus rides

[Guest sharpie]

Tiggers pulling one punch with Timo being in there for Gary Sheffield.

[seawolf17]

I know it's only the first spring training game, but Marlon Anderson and Timo Perez are exhibits 1a and 1b against the DH.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Ouch, Ryan Church is hitting clean up. The Mets are definitely throwing the bench at the Tigers in this one.

[Farmer Ted]

There has to be a rule on the number of Andersons used by one team in one game. Plus a Granderson on the other side of the field.

[Guest Triple Dee]

Alas, the undefeated streak of the 2008 Mets ends.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Getting asses kicked again today by the Cardinals.

Hey, we tied Michigan.

[soupcan]

Yeah well Santana Banana takes the mound tomorrow at 1:00 (so SNY keeps telling me) so that losing streak is ovah!

[Guest vtmet]

Funny thing is...the Mets showed more offense with the "All Andersons on deck" scrub road lineup than they showed with the mid-season lineup that they used against the Cards today...

Not the blue cap, but not a bad one for Yancy to use for Johan's mug shot.

[stevejrogers]

Ditto this one

[Benjamin Grimm]

You needn't spend so much time worrying about mug shots, Steve.

Besides, I already have one for Johan which will serve until I get a game-action blue cap photo.
