Albert comes to town » BY ANTHONY MCCARRON For those of you coming to the Mets' tilt with the Cardinals today at Tradition Field, good news: Albert Pujols is listed as batting third in the Cards' lineup. He's a sight to see live, frankly. Whether that's good or bad news for Jon Niese and Fernando Nieve, who are pitching today in their battle for the fifth spot in the rotation, I guess we'll see. Here's the whole Cardinals' lineup: Skip Schumaker, 2b Felipe Lopez, ss Albert Pujols, 1b Colby Rasmus, cf Ryan Ludwick, rf Allen Craig, lf Yadier Molina, c David Freese, 3b Brad Penny, p

Francisco Rodriguez expected to debut today.

Spring training is for learning new things, right? Maybe they can learn how to get out Ryan Ludwick in a key spot. Or how to make a voodoo doll of Yadier Molina. Later

The two teams trade four-hit-two-run rallies in the first.

Always satisfying to humiliate Brad Penny.

Knee-yebbe settles down in the secong and pitches a scoreless one. Niese poised to outpitch him, but then there's that whole Pujols hurdle.

A fourth-inning RBI-single by Jeff Francoeur puts the Mets ahead 3-2. After a shutout third, Neive yielded the mound (or the fourth letter of his name) to Niese, who has held the Redlegs hitless through 1 1/3.

And Niese gives up a two-run rally in the sixth. Hey, Nelson Figueroa, it's your job to lose.

Angel Pagan with a 2 run walk off HR Jocularity!

Edgy DC Mar 15 2010 01:58 PM Re: IGT - Cardinals @ NY Mets 3/15/10

Green, Misch, and Rodriguez each toss a scoreless inning. Undercover Angel, answer to my prayer! Green walked two, Misch walked one, and Rodriguez struck out reserve Cardinal centerifielder Jon Jay (College of Law). Francisco walks off with the win.

Well, there are no reports in today's papers of anyone having seen Yadier Molina writhing on the ground in agony. So I guess they went 0-2 in learning stuff yesterday. Later
