METS: Alex Cora SS Luis Castillo 2B Carlos Beltran CF Gary Sheffield LF David Wright 3B Ryan Church RF Jeremy Reed 1B Omir Santos C Livan Hernandez RHP (3-1, 5.08) Giants: Emmanuel Burriss 2B Fred Lewis LF Pablo Sandoval 3B Bengie Molina C Randy Winn RF Aaron Rowand CF Travis Ishikawa 1B Juan Uribe SS Tim Lincecum RHP (3-1, 3.25)

Kong76 May 15 2009 05:07 PM

No Reyes? They have an online lineup posted three hours before gametime?

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 15 2009 07:12 PM

Reed at first, Cora leading off. I can see Jerry's wheels turning here.

metirish May 15 2009 07:16 PM

Just saw something that I have rarely if ever seen...an appeal at third that worked..... Rockies at Pirates , one out men on first and third.....Yates pitching for the Pirates , Rockies get a dipping line drive that Nyger Morgan just catches and the runner on third tags and goes home......Pirates appeal and win . Hurdle goes ape and MLB goes back to the studio where after several replays they agree that it was a bad call.....great stuff.

metirish May 15 2009 08:09 PM

I'm really liking how SNY do there little look back into history with old baseball film, just did a Willie Mays song montage, very cool. Delgado and possible surgery got mentioned in the same breath to kick the show off.

themetfairy May 15 2009 08:34 PM

I'm not loving Livan.

Ashie62 May 15 2009 08:36 PM

Livan is playing chuck & duck Its starting to kick in that we may have to go with a patchwork lineup the rest of the year with Putz seeming to become more injured everyday. Better get Sheff back on the roids gonna need him

Swan Swan H May 15 2009 08:37 PM

I thought he was getting out of this with two runs, but Aurilia makes it 4-1.

Ashie62 May 15 2009 08:52 PM

Jose Jose get well get well.. Feels like we are auditioning lineups for awhile oops kaboom for the enemy and a bomb at that

Ashie62 May 15 2009 08:54 PM

Good Lord..put a tent over this circus

Swan Swan H May 15 2009 08:54 PM

Nope. It's Figgy time if Livan gets the early hook.

Ashie62 May 15 2009 08:57 PM

Ya got me..didn't even know Figgy was up..I'm old and confused

MFS62 May 15 2009 09:01 PM

Look at the bright side. At least they're not going to waste a good pitching performance against Lincecum. Ok, so it still hrts. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 15 2009 09:02 PM

Cora thinks he's Reyes. Castillo thinks he's Cora.

Swan Swan H May 15 2009 09:03 PM

Fortunately, Beltran thinks he's Beltran.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 15 2009 09:07 PM

Sheffield thinks he's Bruce Boisclair. Now Wright has to think he's Beltran.

Swan Swan H May 15 2009 09:08 PM

Too much thinking. This ain't chess. See the ball, hit the ball.

Swan Swan H May 15 2009 09:09 PM

And David thinks he's the statue of Stan Musial.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 15 2009 09:09 PM

Oh, he did, only Beltran v. Wainwright Beltran. Fuck. Bad Castillo. Bad Sheffield.

Fman99 May 15 2009 09:14 PM

Gonna try and get past the 3rd inning tonight. The score isn't helping though.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 15 2009 09:21 PM

I miss the other Shawn Green, hat flying off, tapir ears, couldn't hit worth a lick. At least he didn't get pasted time and again from the pitchers' mound.

Yeah, fuck. I guess it's a little curious that if Wright was gonna go steal 3rd why Church was up there taking strikes trying to bunt in the first place.

Great AB by Wright who fouled off several pitches before a clean single up the middle. First and second, no out, Church up.

One of my most satisfying wins as a fan. Mets overcame a deficit with a makeshift lineup against a Cy Young pitcher, a questionable starter of their own and showed some balls.
