Old faces in relatively new places...

Luis Castillo started in the leadoff spot 18 times in 2009, last on September 16 at Atlanta.

Pagan is day to day with right wrist tendinitis. Tonight's bench is Hessman, Thole, Reyes, Hernandez, Pagan.
If Francoeur is traded before the end of the game, and Pagan can't play, who takes his place in the OF?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hessman plays the outfield. And if he doesn't, I'm sure he'd tell Jerry he does.

And Jerry would believe him.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Doublechecking... 84 games in the outfield in his minor league career, including four as recently as 2009.

He's pitched four times and caught once also. Never fear when Mike is here. We are the Mess and he is our Hess.

[bmfc1]

Good work! Thanks.

[G-Fafif]

Fourteenth inning, Ollie in the outfield. Not like he'll be doing anything else.

[metirish]

Pagan is day to day with right wrist tendinitis.

Fman has a thread for that.


This is a great looking lineup. Wish we saw a variation of it earlier.

Beltran CF
Murphy 1B
Reed RF
Thole C

October 4, 2009 -- close enough?

Note Same position, different Hernandez

[Fman99]

Beltran looks bad out there in CF.

[Zvon]

Okay, it's official.
Beltran is washed up.

It would make my day if we can get 3 outs without Ross scoring.

ooo, we got 2....

[Zvon]

WOOT!
ty Mr. Ump

[Zvon]

Ike, your killin me.
But that's only cause I care *sob

[Guest themetfairy]

The Devil drives in Prado. 1-0 Braves.

[Zvon]

Coulda been worse.
Jonathon mopping up niecely after himself.

Beltran must make up for his shoddy fielding this inning.

[Zvon]

Meh, walks as good as a hit.
Bases blue, Frenchy up.

[Zvon]

Frenchy aka Sacman.
WaakaWaakaWaaka

[Zvon]

Blanco sac fly for another.
Guess I'll take it.
2 runs on one hit.
That's mah Mets.

We got lead.

[Zvon]

Okay, it's official.
Castillo is washed up.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tough inning, this.

[Guest Kong76]

I laugh out loud at this point ... yes, I'm not well.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Scoring runs without making outs. It's how the other teams do it.

[Zvon]

Disgracefully disgusting.

[ashie62]

Ready for the September to not remember.

Pleez...Beltran & Francouer to Texas for class A Stud Flamethrower Wilmer Font.

[bmfc1]

What size is Font? Bazinga!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Please stop with the trade notions.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Sickening, and all on Castillo.

That said, we have the bases loaded and no outs and the best we can do is a couple sack flies. And the Braves do what every other team does against us with the bases loaded. How close are we to that grand slam record?

[Zvon]

I laugh out loud at this point ... yes, I'm not well.[/quote:1zrjgpvr]

I laughed when I saw our lineup tonight.

I laughed when I saw Perez was given the ball in the first game of this series last night.

Your fine. Its the team that's not well.

Okay, it's official.
The team has become a joke.

[Guest themetfairy]

I think the Mets misunderstood Keith and are aiming to be swept this series....

[ashie62]

Just having some gallows humor fun
