Den Dekker on loaner from the minor-league camp. May, Rottino, and Johnson at the back end of the lineup competing perhaps for the same single spot.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Opening Day two weeks from today. Is it kind of late in the Grapefruit League to have only four regulars in the starting lineup?

[Edgy MD]

Well, two of them are unavailable.

Ike Davis turns 25 today.

[Benjamin Grimm]

He's a little less than half as old as Darryl Strawberry.

Ruben sez: 'I think this 2nd pitch of the game would look much better on the other side of the LCF fence'

and the other two, Duda and Thole, have been getting plenty of time. (and one's a catcher)

[Edgy MD]

Leadoff homer for Tejada! �Jos� qui�n?

Bay also singles and comes around for a 2-0 lead.

[Edgy MD]

So, who's the first guy to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and throw a no-hitter in the same season?

Four-zip.

[Edgy MD]

Mets rallying again in the seventh. One run home and bags juiced for... Edgin. Let's see who they send out... .

[Ceetar]

The big Q.

[Farmer Ted]

Edgin. Kick Ass.

[Frayed Knot]

Omar Quintanilla sez: 'These bases look dirty, time for me to clean them off' (with a 3RBI-2B)

[bmfc1]

That was a nice AB by Quintanillia, against a lefty. Too bad for him that the Mets spent some of the little money they had on Ronny Cedeno.

[Edgy MD]

That's the Mets. Rounding up too much talent this offseason.
