Mets v Braves

Mets going with a parade a relievers - in order to make final cuts presumably.

Adkins gets the first chance to play his way out of a job and is succeeding quite nicely so far: coughing up 5 runs in the 1st

So much for the Adkins diet.

Culprit was grand salami from Francoeur.

We got 2 back in our half and might have had more were it not for Alou GIDPing with bases loaded 0 out.

Adkins had a spotless 2nd inning, so things are looking up.

(actually he didn't -- single & walk, aided by a CS and DP). Goodbye, Jon.

Park with a 1-2-3 inning against the middle of the Braves lineup. Pena (goundout to second), Andruuuuw (K looking), Clark (groundout to first).

Nice to see. He was dominant in relief for Korea during the WBC, and I think he could really solidify our pen.

I've kinda been rooting for Park too, just knowing that he's destined to become a target of abuse when all he wants is to keep his career alive.

Who are Pena and Clark and will they be in the middle of the Braves lineup all season...they are not even listed on the Braves 40 man roster.

Pena is Tony Jr. - son of the Pirate/Cardinal catcher (and now NYY coack) and older brother of the young catcher the Mets signed last year. Tony Jr. is an infielder. He played briefly last year and will be on the team this season but probably not start.

Not sure who 'Clark' is

Thanks FK..Clark is one Doug Clark,11 career AB's with the Giants and Oakland between 05/06.

Drafted by the Giants in the seventh round in 1998.

2 IPs, 1 run on 2 hits for Park

Burgos's turn now

Two more steals so far for Reyes. Bite me, Crawford.

Grinding this game out would be a nice little test.

Burgos gives us two scoreless and three strikeouts, the type of performance we got him for. He exits with the same 7.04 ERA as Park.

Let's beat up on Tyler Yates for not wearing 50 as a Met.

It's 8-3 at the end of eight.

Fangrasistic umbertuck!

Shot down in order in the ninth.

Willie Randolph has his work cut out for him.
