Scheduled Starters For Atlanta Series
Yesterday’s rainout changed the Mets pitching schedule for the coming week. Here’s the expected starters for the two game set against Atlanta. Tonight – John Maine (1-2, 5.40) vs. Javier Vazquez (2-2, 3.38), 7:10 p.m., SNY. Tuesday – Livan Hernandez (1-1, 6.75) vs. Kenshin Kawakami (1-3, 7.06), 7:10 p.m., SNY.
Perez Out Of Rotation But Where’s He Going?
After another poor outing Saturday the Mets have said that Oliver Perez will be removed from the starting rotation. Exactly where he will be going remains up in the air. There are two obvious options: move him to the bullpen or send him to the minors to work things out. Moving Perez to the bullpen […]
Schneider’s Return Delayed
Brian Schneider has developed a sore right calf and is unlikely to be activated when he is eligible to come off of the disabled list (Sunday, May 3). This will give the Mets some more time to make a decision on the Ramon Castro/Omir Santos issue. Castro is the incumbent number 2 catcher but Santos […]

Today’s Lineup 4/29/2009 & Notes
The Mets are having Oliver Perez pitch batting practice today. It’s not usual for pitchers to throw live batting practice between starts. I guess pitching coach Dan Warthen is thinking that if other teams take batting practice against Perez then why not the Mets? John Maine will also throw BP today. Here’s today’s lineup: # […]
Tonight’s Lineup 4/28/2009
Carlos Delgado‘s sore hip and Luis Castillo‘s back spasms will keep the regular right side of the infield out of the lineup tonight. Also out of the lineup is Daniel Murphy. I find this curious. If the team is committed to Murphy in left field then why has he been on the bench for 3 […]
Freddy We Hardly Knew You
Rumor has it that the Mets have released Freddy Garcia. (I saw this blogged somewhere but don’t have a solid source yet.) After a terrible outing for Buffalo last night Garcia seemed to indicate that he may retire. His agent has denied the retirement rumor but it seems like that may not matter if no […]

Today’s Crazy Lineup
Jerry Manuel is trying so hard to keep Luis Castillo out of the two hole in the batting order. Today’s lineup is mostly a crap shoot with the jackpot being to break out of the slump the team is in. So why not move the hot hitting Castillo to the two hole for just one […]
