Spending a lot of time in the division this spring and, in fact, have yet to play an American League club. Only sort of half a regular in the lineup today, with an unlikely number three hitter. Lineups culled from the Daily News and the Washington Post

Mets get two in the first on a sacrifice fly RBI by Dr. Johnny Fever and an RBI single by Ike Davis. They give one back in the bottom half of the inning due to an error by Davis --- his third of the spring, all leading to runs.

Other high/ low lights: Ike's hit was off a lefty. Fernando goes yard off Estes. The Nats' left fielder, who seems to make the web gems every time he plays the Mets (Willie Harris?) had two more in the first inning to save several runs - one catch in the corner, one over the wall to save a 3 run dinger. Ike's error means Pelfrey only gave up 3 ER in that inning. The wind is blowing out toward right center. Later

Two hits off lefties for Ike brings him to 3-for-4 in five PAs off lefties so far this spring. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Henry Blanco gets an RBI single to put the Mets up. First week of spring is seeing a lot of offense.

Eddie Kunz, a disaster his last time out, gets back on the horse and throws a scoreless inning --- it's probably more important that it was walkless as well. He's got his ERA down to 27.00 and and is followed by a shutout inning from Niesen. Niesen's name was spelled "Nielson" in a recent prospect issue of Inside Pitch.

That also makes him 4-4.

[quote="Edgy DC":1676ptqe]That also makes him 4-4.[/quote:1676ptqe] And don't forget that old adage. "This is that time of the year when the pitchers are (supposed to be) ahead of the hitters. " Because of the compressed reporting times and special pre-ST camps these days, do they say that any more? Later

Sean Green came in with the bases loaded and two outs, letting one run score, but he struck out three in 1 1/3 IP. We now have a Travis Blackley sighting.

Mets score 14. For those of you who weren't listening, they missed the kick after the first TD. So they had Henry Blanco run for two after the second TD. Later

Pelfrey unveiled his new splitter, which was apparently an effective pitch.
