I'm hearing Mets wont reveal lineup until a Terry press conference at 945?? citing "complications." Big Spring Training Blockbuster??

No chains on Terry's tires.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 31 2014 07:07 AM Re: complications??

Intriguing... My guess/fear is that they're evaluating a potential injury to one of the projected starters.

G-Fafif Mar 31 2014 07:09 AM Re: complications??

It could be like that year they got Mientkiewicz and there was a delay in presenting the lineups because the spelling took a few extra minutes.

Picking up wisps of smoke that Murphy may not be ready to go.

G-Fafif Mar 31 2014 07:15 AM Re: complications??

Yup, Murphy wifey giving birth.

G-Fafif Mar 31 2014 07:15 AM Re: complications??

New child = complication.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 31 2014 07:16 AM Re: complications??

Welcome baby Muffy.

Drama It is interesting that we've made it to Opening Day and neither Nick Franklin nor Didi Gregorius has been traded. (And, of course, Stephen Drew is still unsigned.) The lack of that trade you anticipated may be partially explained by the restraint in Phoenix and Seattle.

EY plays second, Lagares in CF. Murph in delivery room.

Congrats, hope complications are not with the baby....

Frayed Knot Mar 31 2014 07:38 AM Re: complications??

So things were delayed not by complications but by contractions!

metsmarathon Mar 31 2014 07:45 AM Re: complications??

complications can be such a terrifying word. i hope all is well, and that hte mets are merely doofuses at public relations.

Edgy MD Mar 31 2014 07:47 AM Re: complications??

Murphy's going to end up nicknaming that baby "Wally Pipp" if Young gets three or four hits. #accountability

She couldn't wait until the off day tomorrow? (Dodges flying rolling pin from wife)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 31 2014 08:11 AM Re: complications??

Word now is that Chris Young has the flu and won't be in the lineup. I guess that means Downtown Brown in right? Also, don't the Mets get to call up a paternity replacement for Muffy?

Benjamin Grimm Mar 31 2014 08:15 AM Re: complications??

I think they do, yes. Flores, perhaps?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 31 2014 08:21 AM Re: complications??

Oh, Young has a quad strain (of course) and "4 or 5 guys have the flu" Terry says. Ike starting at fist. So flu-like symptoms for Doodoo, Satin, Recker, and I guess a couple of pitchers.

Edgy MD Mar 31 2014 08:23 AM Re: complications??

OK, I'll say it. Stade Olympique has clearly become a disease-infested sewer.

Edgy MD Mar 31 2014 08:27 AM Re: complications??

Probably not an issue.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 31 2014 08:35 AM Re: complications??

I agree. The flight may be a bit longer, but I imagine there are plenty of airline flights between New York and Las Vegas.

Edgy MD Mar 31 2014 08:47 AM Re: complications??

I'm thinking that, since the AAA season tends to open several days after the MLB season, the Mets probably have eligible replacements still in St. Lucie. Checking the schedule, the Vegans open at home on Thursday.

If so then, yeah, you could get a replacement in, but it would mean Muffy missing Wednesday's game as well. P.S. I suspect the minor leagues are still in Florida, not yet in Vegas
