Lazy Saturday Post
It’s Game 2 tonight with the long awaited arrival of Jeremi Gonzales against the Brewer’s Dana Eveland; both making their Major League debut.
I don’t have a clue what Eveland’s history is and its Saturday so I am not in the mood for research. At least I post on Saturday, especially with Antonio Alfonseca apparently making veiled threats and menacing gestures toward yours truly.
What I am sure about is the 2 game lead looks mighty small with the Phillies staying hot again last night. After Sunday’s game it’s the Cardinals and Yankees. I would love to take these last two.
A few things:
Is Rosenthal mocking us?
Missing Anna
The reality for the Mets is that they don't need Willis or A's left-hander Barry Zito; given that Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine are a combined 10-2 with a 2.50 ERA, a middle-of-the-rotation innings-eater would suffice.
The Mets had such a pitcher — right-hander Kris Benson — but traded him to the Orioles for reliever Jorge Julio. Nationals right-hander Livan Hernandez would be a logical fit. Other possibilities: the Royals' Scott Elarton, Mariners' Gil Meche and Orioles' Rodrigo Lopez — and maybe Indians right-hander Paul Byrd, if the Tribe falls out of contention.
I don’t know about you, but none of those guys seem very attractive.
On that note, Brian Bannister is scheduled for a simulated game today.
In Tides news, Ahern went 2-4 in last nights game against the Columbus Clippers. Ahern was driven in by Lonestar Met favorite and Willie Randolph whipping boy Jeff Keppinger, and the win was picked up by sideburn enthusiast and fellow Lonestar Met favorite, Royce Ring.
I have no baseball point, just wanted to give those two props.
That’s all for today; tune in and hope for the best.
Two games up, for now
Lets go Mets!
