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 […]

Tonight’s Lineup

Tonight’s lineup was posted a little while ago. As noted earlier Brian Schneider is back from an injury. Perhaps more notable is that Carlos Delgado is batting in the sixth slot in the order. Delgado has been horrific lately. I’m curious if this is in response to his .208 average with 1 home run or […]



Correction: Reyes To Play

Contrary to what I wrote in my last post Jose Reyes will be in the lineup tonight. Furthermore in contrast to what Willie Randolph said yesterday he has dropped Luis Castillo to the 8th slot in the order. Ryan Church will bat second. Moving Castillo down makes sense until he is healthy but I’d rather […]

Lennon Makes Case for Estrada

David Lennon wrote a nice post yesterday in the On the Mets Beat blog making the case that Johnny Estrada would not be a bad option to start at catcher.



Queens is Burning

What a crazy day yesterday was. Rick Down was fired as hitting coach. Rickey Henderson was added to the coaching staff but to an unannounced position. He may be hitting coach but so may Howard Johnson who filled the duty last night as Henderson couldn’t get to New York from Oakland in time for the […]
