Mets going pretty much first string where they're healthy enough to do so.

[Ceetar]

Why back to the silly DH? I guess it's Santana and kid gloves and all, but shoulder, fielding, hitting, it's pretty obvious he's not chien mieng wang.

The Bengals are 9-1 this spring, the Mets 3-8.

Is Fielder being punished? I'm surprised that he had to make the long bus trip.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Game on MLB network, FYI.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Not familiar with this Rob Johnson character.

[bmfc1]

What's with all the Tigers fans at PSL?

[Edgy MD]

Tigers on the maul, up 4-0 in the third.

OE: 5-0 on an error by Murphy. Time for Terry to late these guys know that they are the change they long for.

[A Boy Named Seo]

This shit is hard to watch. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

[Edgy MD]

Now 9-0. Forfeit score.

Can't anybody here flay this game?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Can't score, can't relief pitch, can't field.

[Edgy MD]

Can't drive home from the bowling alley.

[Edgy MD]

Francisco: 9.00 ERA
Rauch: 10.80 ERA
Ramirez: 9.82 ERA
Byrdak: Hurt and Likely Bruised.

Bullpen Overhall: Not Looking Good So Far.

[bmfc1]

Is a pre-season meltdown coming soon for Terry? Would you blame him?

[Edgy MD]

Not really. I mean, hopefully more of a crackdown than a meltdown, but yeah. You don't need the backups to play as well as the frontups, but it's not too much to ask either group to execute like professionals.

[MFS62]

I'm more concerned about the lack of offense. I realize some players have been injured. But when most of the "A" team has been in there, they haven't done squat.
