IGT, 3/30, Cards-Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

Don't have the Mets lineup yet. Felipe Lopez was a late scratch yesterday. Back in there today. LaRussa is starting to shut down his automatics in anticipation of opening day. No Pujols today, and it's reported to be Holliday's last game also.

Tony is additonally giving a last audition today to some of his candidates for the last spot in the rotation. (Newsflash: the Mets aren't the only one who don't have five locks.) Lets smack 'em all around today.

1. Felipe Lopez, 2B
2. Brendan Ryan, SS
3. Ryan Ludwick, RF
4. Matt Holliday, LF
5. Allen Craig, 1B
6. David Freese, 3B
7. Joe Mather, CF
8. Jason LaRue, C
9. Chris Carpenter, P

Two homers against Perez in the first (plus 2 doubles). Has he done anything this spring to make you think he deserves to start the year in the majors?

Hold on, a Mexican gives up two home runs and they are not wind aided?

Yes. Those homers two years ago would've been balls. In a real game he'll adjust and throw the ball somewhere in the middle, the guy will whiff, and we'll cheer.

I would think pitchers (especially Pelfrey) would be more apt to challenge hitters in spring training. If anything, this is an eye opener that they aren't going to beat the guy with just the pitch, they need the location as well.

[bmfc1]

Perez gives up another hr in the 2d.

[Chad ochoseis]

BOOOOOOOOOO!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Apparently the Cardinals minor leaguers are beating up Santana now too.

I'm getting, uh, a little concerned.

[bmfc1]

JCL: does that mean you want to revise your 91-71 prediction?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Santana and Perez being pummeled in split-screen. This is the first spring game I've gotten around to watching down here. I guess they really wanted to pack in the misery.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yes, I now predict even more awesome shock with 92 wins.

[Chad ochoseis]

He's being booed at PSL.

Well, the fans have to train, too.

Seriously, that sucks.

The hitters are ahead of the pitchers.

[Guest attgig]

seems like bay is having a little trouble getting to some of these balls...

maybe his defense was what everyone else thought it was...

[metirish]

Fucked , we are fucked , see you in October loosers

[metsmarathon]

fuck the 8th, start mejia!

[ashie62]

The original posted "boo tote" for the fat lazy mexican was 96%. Take the over

[Guest Edgy DC]

Another shutdown job by Beta-Mexican Elmer Dessens, who's on nobody's shortlist.

[TransMonk]

I just can't trust a guy named Elmer.

Mrs. Fudd does

Yes, but Dessens is a real glue g-- oh, I can't do this.

Yeah, but that was Bugs Bunny in a dress most of the time. His intentions were suspect.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Is there a Mrs. Fudd? All I know about Elmer J. Fudd's personal life is that he's a millionaire who owns a mansion and a yacht.

[metirish]

Per Lennon ,

The moving truck has arrived

Which means it's almost time to head back to New York. The Mets will be loading up the truck over the next 24 hours. It leaves at noon on Wednesday.

Getting close to that magic day.



Hold it right there , is that City Field in the pic?

[Frayed Knot]

Are they packing Dave Racinello's bicycle or is he going to be pedaling back to New York?

[Benjamin Grimm]

He's coming back to New York on a pogo stick. All in a vain effort to get more than one line of coverage in the section with the ellipses.
