IGT 3/26, Get It On, John

The Mets have the starting out there save Wright who comes back tomorrow. Mets.com actually has Matt DeSalvo playing first and batting cleanup. But I'm assuming that's an error. In fact, I'm demanding it. LaRussa going with the pitcher-eighth look. New York St. Louis Reyes, J, SS Castillo, 2B Beltran, CF Delgado, 1B Murphy, LF Church, RF Valentin, Jo, 3B Schneider, C Maine, P Schumaker, 2B Ankiel, CF Pujols, 1B Duncan, LF Greene, K, SS Molina, Y, C Freese, 3B Wainwright, P Rasmus, RF

Can there be such a thing as a big start in Spring Training? Maine makes for some dire reading in the papers lately.

Your home-plate umpire: Angel F-ing Hernandez!

Not much of an issue if Maine can't find home plate.

To be fair, Skip Schumaker (giftee of 2 of Maine's three walks) is a pretty wee fella.

Maine has settled his ass down, and gone the next three innings scoreless and walkless.

I thought he was cured! Uh. Maine's on my enemies list until further notice

Five-run rally of substantial hugeness puts those who are Metly on top 7-3. Omir Santos, whom Steve hates the sight of, had the big hit with a two-run jobbie.

Maine seemed to settle down somewhat... and he was facing the A-squad, for what it's worth. Safe to say that young Mr. Parnell-- with another scoreless-- has traveled from He'sGotAShot-Land to WhyTheHellAreTheySending HimDown-Ville, no?

It was a tease. The rally extended to seven and the mets won 9-5.

Omir Santos had one homer in 297 AB's at Norfolk (he was in the Orioles' organization) last year. He has two homers in 15 spring training at bats so far. Probably not a meaningful stat, but definitely an odd one.
