IGT, 3/2, Mmmm.... Grapefruit

[Guest Edgy DC]

Listen, there's a game today. Mets and Braves will clash and the heavens will resound.

I can't find a lineup yet, but I'll bet a couple of Cranebucks that Billy Wagner did not make the trip to Port St. Lucie.

As per WFAN, neither did Chipper Jones. ("No veterans like to take bus trips in Florida".)
The starting lineup includes Ike Davis at first base and Chris Coste behind the dish, catching Figgy. I heard it in my car, so couldn't write down the rest of the lineup.

They were supposed to start the studs, but it's apparently rainy and so the scrubs go instead:

J. Feliciano, lf
Tejada, ss
Matthews, cf
Jacobs, dh
Hessman, 3b
Davis, 1b
Coste, c
Pridie, rf
L. Hernandez, 2b
Figueroa, rhp

This game is on TV if you can believe it.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's even on MLB Network for anyone outside the reach of SNY.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Pridies and Hessmans and Hey-You've-Got-the-Wrong-Felicianos notwithstanding, this is most joyous grapefruit.

The Mets ran a few lineups out there last August that were less fearsome, I think.

[ashie62]

The Hessman guy from WKRP is playing

[Valadius]

Nice, I actually get MLB Network.

Hey, Al Leiter!

God bless the Braves for throwing uberprospect Heyward out there.

Pretty solid lineup for them.

[Frayed Knot]

Eric Hinske spent his winter (plus a couple of grand) getting his entire back tatooed.
I'd be happy if the Mets rejected the idea of offering him a contract for that reason alone.

[Valadius]

And the first play of the Mets' season is a liner back to Figueroa.

[Valadius]

Hey, there's Darryl on the bench!

[Valadius]

Jesus Feliciano trying to get people in the organization to take notice, as he bangs a single up the middle off Braves phenom Tommy Hanson.

[ashie62]

Ruben Tejada...he looks like Luis Lopez

[Valadius]

Jesus Feliciano with the SB.

[Guest Edgy DC]

When we come back, we'll talk with Jose Reyes.

[Valadius]

What's with those godawful tattoos?

[ashie62]

Reyes looks like an idiot

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Baseball and Bailey Quarters. What a glorious day.

[metirish]

Reyes looks like an idiot[/quote:28wwgrwf]

But can he hit and run?

[Valadius]

He wants to bring "enthusiasms and energies" to the field.

Hit it to Nessman!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

That's WKRP, with more music and Les Nessman.

If it comes out that this is subtle viral marketing for eBay or eTrade, I'm e-mmolating the Reyes jersey I bought the LWYoungerPooper.
