IGT, 3/19, Twins v. Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

Johan's first appearance against Minnesota. Don't have the Minneapoleans' lineup yet.

1. Martinez, cf
2. Tejada, ss
3. Wright, 3b
4. Bay, lf
5. Murphy, 1b
6. Francoeur, rf
7. Adams, 2b
8. Santos, c
9. Santana, lhp

New York
Also listed to pitch: Pedro Felouch!iano Pat Misch Bobby Parnell Sean Green Jenrry Mejia

Definitely a real lineup there, if not a real good one. The sort of thing you might see on a game two scorecard sometime this summer.

Mike Jacobs reported to be donning the catcher gear.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Interestingly, the lineups show the Twins playing with a DH, and Mets without.

1. Span, CF
2. Harris, B, DH
3. Kubel, RF
4. Young, D, LF
5. Valencia, 3B
6. Peterson, Br, 1B
7. Ramos, W, C
8. Tolbert, SS
9. Casilla, A, 2B

Homers by Valencia and Ramos and the Metzgers are down 2-0.

Got one back on a HR by former Met Omir Santos.

The Twinklers plate a third run and Sean Green is on and pitching for his job.

Facing a righty with 2 on and 1 out IS his job... but instead of the DP he gives up back to back doubles and a rout is on.

Rubin says Green is probably making the team cos of the money he's owed.

That kind of thing always sounds awful, but I think it really means that, because of his salary, he's getting extra time (beyond the end of spring training) to prove himself. If it turns out that he pitches like a guy who shouldn't be on the team, they'll find some way to get rid of him.

[metirish]

true Grim , and perhaps he didn't really say that

Let's get this out of the way first: Bobby Parnell and Sean Green are in some jeopardy of not making the Opening Day roster, although Green would seem to be less vulnerable because his salary is $975,000 even if he's in the minors, whereas Parnell won't make his major-league salary at Buffalo. Still, they have minor-league options remaining, so one (or both in an extreme circumstance) could find themselves at Triple-A Buffalo to open the season

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jennk Mejia on to pitch the ninth.

He'll be burnt out by the end of ST.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, he gave up a run. I do believe he will not make the team.

In a low-offense day, Ruben Tejada has two doubles, and I suspect he might.

[metirish]

Santana's final line today?

Adios, motherfuckers!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jason Pridie reaches with one out in the ninth.

touch� , you're ready to start the season.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets lose to a team with a pitcher named "Slowie," a secondbaseman named "Dinkleman," and two shortstops named "Tolbert" and "Plouffe."

Coming on in relief were "Swarzak" and "Neshek" who I believe figured prominently in the Babylonian exile portion of the Bible.

Yes, he has Cora'ed his way onto the team.

[Guest holychicken]

How worried should I be about Santana?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Less than maybe you should about Muffy, who's now batting .133 and left six guys on base.

I worry aboyt the Muffster not only because I'm afraid of another 2 month suck stretch he experienced last year but that the Mets seem determined to solve the Muffy problem with Mike Jacobs and not Carter... but maybe not Davis...

Anyway, Muffy's having a lousy spring is my point.

Swarzak & Neshek are related to Balzack & Balzitch
