It's early yet. Maybe the Mets will end up trading Matthews for Albert Pujols or something.

It would be a very odd career move if Lennon opted to take a job working for SteveJRogers.

That's a good point. If it does indeed start his clock, then that's an argument against doing it.

Is that your preference or your prediction? My prediction matches the above, with three exceptions: I think Mejia, Jacobs, and Niese will make the team, and Misch, Carter, and Figueroa won't. I prefer it TransMonk's way, though.

Me, I'd give the credit to whoever was holding the gun to my head.

Francoeur "goes yard," an expression I never use, and yet I just did. It's the fourth inning and the Braves are up 3-2.

There's a difference between being 75% ready and 75% healthy. If he's 75% healthy, I'd let him sit for a few more days. But if he's 75% ready, I'd let him play. I'd rather have 75% Jose Reyes than anyone else they'd put out there.

Does Tradition Field still have the same dimensions as Shea Stadium, or have they moved the fences to match the distances at Citi Field?
-
Okay, so how long has Jose been idle? About three weeks or so? With only 13 days until the season starts, I suspect he won't be quite ready, but maybe, if things go well from here, he'll be able to only miss a week or so.

Brian Costa of the Star-Ledger wrote: PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Mets shortstop Jose Reyes has been cleared by team doctors to resume baseball activities and is on his way back to Florida. A team spokesman said Reyes' thyroid levels have returned to normal and he is expected back at Tradition Field on Wednesday. There was no immediate word on when he'll be able to start playing in Grapefruit League games. Reyes was shut down earlier this month because of an overactive thyroid and has been resting at his home in New York. The Mets said on March 11 that it could take an additional one to seven weeks for Reyes to be cleared, making it appear likely that he would begin the season on the disabled list. But now it seems possible that he could avoid the DL altogether. We're expecting to hear from Mets general manager Omar Minaya shortly. Check back here later this afternoon for more on Reyes and when he might play in a game.

You should focus on the positive: free tacos for section 111! Is the bullpen really in disarray? Or is it simply that there are decisions still to be made? I have to confess that I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to how many of the individual Mets players have been doing this spring.

Thinking everything they do is wrong is just as bad as thinking that everything they do is right.

For Thor, I might have gone with Alexander Skarsg�rd, of True Blood and Generation Kill. And, I just discovered that I'm not the first one who thought of that:
-
The impression I got was that they were simply going to remove the tab from in front of the apple. It does look like that's been done. I don't know how current that photo is, but it obviously doesn't show the completed renovation. There's no way that they'll leave a bright white stripe like that in center field.

The Daily News on Sunday was speculating about how he was likely the successor to Posada. Glad that's been nipped in the bud.

It looks like they're doing a good job Metting it up. Someone still needs to take care of this, though:

It's caused by line feeds in your code. You need it to be one big fat block of text. I fixed it, I think. There appear to be a couple of trailing tags somehow.

I suspect that they deal with the odd number of teams by scheduling those B-squad games.

Key lime?? Maybe they got some green dye on them from yesterday?
