Snooze suggests this is a big d\ay for Catalonotto who's off to a poor start and needs a few knocks to establish himself in the backup derby.

Catalonotto really tailed the last 2 seasons and at 35 years young may be dun

[metirish]

Yeah he's 1 for 10 or something like that. Meanwhile F Mart is hitting like .600 ....

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And Chris Carter-- who's never gotten more than a month at the major-league level-- is smacking the ball around like he was costarring with it in A Streetcar Named Desire.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Is the pitch data accurate in these ST games? If so, it suggests Lackey has the Mets down in three innings on 13 pitches. THIRTEEN! (including two hits). Three pitches in the 2nd and 3rd innings. That can't be right... can it?

Big Pelf is throwing a perfecto thru 2

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm guessing no, as they also got two hits.

With one double play, that would be an average of like 1.3 pitches per batter, and one those was a strikeout.

[Theoldmole]

Anything wrong with Pelfrey? The trainer came out to the mound, but then I missed what happened.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm only watching on the internet. Looks like he got thru 4 IP, 1 run, 4 hits.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

oooh, Papelbon scheduled to face Santos this inning.

Top of the fifth, Red Sox 1, Mets 0

Jonathan Papelbon has replaced Lackey. Here's Lackey's line: 4 innings, 2 hits, 2 strikeouts. He threw only 39 pitches, 28 strikes.

Jennry in for the Mets.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cattalonotto doesn't get a hit today, surely his retirement will be announced tomorrow.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not for nothin but Muffy's not having a good spring either.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Error Tejada. But no pain.

This is the breakthrough inning.

No cherry bombs as they go down 1-2-3.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Supposedly Pelf had a blister issue.

[Theoldmole]

Spring Kaboom by F-Mart.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I love shopping at F-Mart.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Floodgates open up and it's 4-1, Goodguys.

[Guest Edgy DC]

But I'm showing the homer was by Carter.

On edit: Martinez again. Who's running that show?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tobi Flintstone in for the hold.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two inning save by the Stonemason. All is good today.

[metirish]

Top of the eighth, Mets 3, Red Sox 1

Two walks and a three-run homer mean the Sox are on the short end of this game. Ramon Ramirez (the original) gave up the bomb to Fernando Martinez.

Fernando is making a strong case.
