Mets hosting 8,000 school kids with the promise of "being treated to a pre-game meteorology lesson by PIX11 weather experts Mr. G and Linda Church, who will engage them in an interactive program about weather patterns and phenomena and take students behind the scenes at the PIX11 weather center. Mr. Met and the Pepsi MAX Party Patrol will also be on hand to entertain students and shoot t-shirts into the crowd. At the conclusion of program, the students will stay at the ballpark to watch the game."

Ken Cloude, pitcher, Seattle, 1997 through 1999.

[DocTee]

Melvin Nieves, SP.

[Chad ochoseis]

When in doubt, bring Nieve in from the pen.

[Edgy MD]

Needing some infielders.

[MFS62]

Nicknames count?
Bob "Hurricane" Hazle. IIRC, he was always called by that nickname.
Drungo Hazewood. Had a cuppa' in the majors with the O's.

If we're gonna take Razor Shines, then Alvin Dark makes the team at SS.

[Edgy MD]

Probably a better match. Certainly a better playa.

[DocTee]

There's always Juan and Wil Nieves, too. (P and C)

And Sol Carter.

[DocTee]

Champ Summers

[Benjamin Grimm]

Bob Wintry Mix?

[Ceetar]

Chip Hale?

[seawolf17]

Any of the Springers: Dennis, Steve, JCL.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Steve Rain

Roy (Stormy) Weatherly

Cool Papa Bell

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'd love to know if it was the UMDB scorecards that inspired SNY to use the little-known "Hand of Sean" font for their on-screen lineup cards.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Reds go easily in the first, one-two-three.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Two out double for David in the first. Fly ball lands just fair in left field.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And he steals third with two out. (Barely!) Is this no longer taboo?

This is a stretch, but how about Cy Young.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Duda fans, stranding David.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Murphy gets his double leading off the second. Will he wait there until there are two outs, and then attempt to steal third?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Murphy to third as Davis flies to right.

Am I the only one watching?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cedeno bunts for the second out. Murphy stands at third watching.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nickeas strikes out. Mets end each of the first two innings striking out with a runner on third.
