THIS GAME HAS BEEN CANCELLED, DOUBLEHEADER IN MAY

] People down in ATL are saying its pouring rain and the game may not be played. Pitching NYM: John Maine (1st start of the year) ATL: Tim Hudson (0-0, 2.57 ERA) For the Mets: SS Reyes 2B Castillo 3B Wright CF Beltran 1B Delgado RF Church LF Pagan C Schneider P Maine For The Braves: SS Escobar CF Kotsay 3B Jones 1B Texeira C McCann RF Francoeur LF Diaz 2B Prado P Hudson edit- i'm disgusted by the Daily News/Yankees ads on WFAN during the Mets broadcast (well, between steve summers and the mets)

[nymr83]

they're talking rain and tornado warnings on the radio. they also mentioned that the braves have really used their bullpen alot so far and could use the night off, and its their decision until the game actually starts.

[Guest KC]

Yeah, from the NOAA site ...

[u:b29861ccd4]Tonight[/u:b29861ccd4]: Showers and thunderstorms likely. Some of the storms could
be severe. Cloudy, with a low around 59. South wind between 5 and
10 mph, with gusts as high as 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Burkhart is saying they might try and start at eight as there is a window
and then all hell is gonna break lose to paraphrase Kevin.

[nymr83]

Maybe Maine and Hudson can do their best impersonations of vintage Maddux and we can get through 6 (with a Mets lead) in an hour and a half.

Cox on WFAN now saying "a rainout wouldn't hurt us" and I have to believe the Braves organization knows that and will call this game.

Game called

Too bad right now at MFY stadium yet listening to WFAN

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'll have to look at the calendar to be sure, but this may mean we won't need to get a start from Figgy.

[Frayed Knot]

Shitfuck!!

[Guest KC]

Rogers is posting from Yankee Stadium?

That's gotta be grounds for immediate banning.

[Guest themetfairy]

The two teams will play a doubleheader on May 20th.

No, scratch that. We'll still need a fifth guy by April 12.

Merciless ball busting at any rate.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Why? Where else would he be?

[Benjamin Grimm]

My plan now: Maine on Saturday, Santana on Sunday, Perez on Tuesday.

Pelfrey to get some bullpen work over the weekend, if possible, and a start on Wednesday.

[metirish]

I'm shocked that SteveJ(eter)Rogers is at yankee stadium, take some pictures for us Steve.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

AG/DC - "Merciless ball busting at any rate."

So we're just going to maintain the status quo and not subject him to any punishment for this gross infraction?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Ben Grimm - "My plan now: Maine on Saturday, Santana on Sunday, Perez on Tuesday.

I agree completely. I would prefer to maintain Santana, Perez, and Maine on their regular rest. The more starts the Met6s can get from those three, the better off they should be.

Ooh, I think that's my favorite one.

[Guest KC]

yup �

[stevejrogers]

LOL Yeah you can give me all the ribbing on Sunday at Stout

Listening to Rangers vs Icelanders instead really couldn't care less about the MFY game

Just here for memorabilla and hanging with the old man!

[metsmarathon]

that can be done at any 'spirit of sports' type store filling up an empty storefront in a local mall.

you're there for the pinstripes, the history, and the glory of a monumental and great building housing a super-duper team, aren't you?

[Guest GYC]

Saturday: Maine vs. Hudson
Sunday: Santana vs. Smoltz

[Guest KC]

Jeets! Oh that's gonna stick ...

a) does Jeets own any Yankee apparel?
does he wear it to games?
c) has he ever participated in "roll call" or clap when each player acknowledges?
d) does he know stadium personnel by name?
e) how many times a year can he be spotted in monument park?
f) has he ever posed for picture with Freddie Sez or taken one of him?

We're gonna get to the root of this once and for all for the good of all Mets
baseball boards. Does Jeets bleed navy blue or blue and orange swirl? Submit
your vote to 1-800-YANKFAN.
