That's not our A-lineup.

19 pitches, 19 strikes. Is there a split squad? I'm just following it on Gameday.

Away game, so... A couple of strung-together singles and an (apparently) air-mailed throw from Duda aside, Niese's handling a pretty potent lineup-- sans Adrian Gonzalez-- nicely: 6 K, 0 BB, 4 H, 2 R (1 earned) over 4.

Niese Looks good, and Lester giving up a lot of hard hit fly outs, ball not carrying

I left in the throes of optimism, come back to discover Niese gave up 5 runs in 5 innings.

Only one ex-Mets and one Brittany Spears straddling 2B.

Hey, pitchers get hit. Niese doesn't have that funky a windup, or ridiculous movement on the fastball, so he's not immune to this. What he's got, though, is 17 Ks in 16.1 innings and just 4 BBs (4.25 K/BB) in 4 spring starts. He keeps doing that, and a breakthrough year's in the offing.

Also, in less happy news, Mike O'Connor did let an inherited runner score-- the first of 6 he's had handed him this spring. THE RACE FOR SECOND: Castillo: DNP Emaus (DH): 1-4, 1 R Hernandez (SS-2B): 0-4 Hu (3B-SS): 0-3 Murphy (2B-1B): 1-4, BB, R, RBI And, For Your Consideration:Turner (3B): 2-2, bases-loaded 2B, R, 3 RBI

I sense that Turner has a real opportunity here, if he can take advantage of it.

Turner, unfortunately, is the only one with minor-league options remaining.

But at least he was enjoying his last meal with friends (like Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who's name i now know how to spell, meaning he'll get demoted too) at Duffy's when he returned to Port St. Lucie. Also, I'm told (by a random waiter who saw our Mets stuff) That all the Wilpons ate their earlier. They tipped _very_ well, but not as well as in years past.

Rather than focus on the misplay, I'm looking at the ad in the back. Is it a Hooters ad?

Ceetar Mar 18 2011 02:17 PM Re: IGT-ST, Mets vs Bosox

cropped it for the misplay. here's the full shot.
