On the Mets beat

--- Jose Valentin started his second straight game at second base on Monday. Willie Randolph said he's going to rotate, but not platoon, Valentin, Kaz Matsui and Chris Woodward.
“I’m going to match up guys the way I see fit,” Randolph said. “It’s not going to be any type of platoon thing, it’s just how I feel at the tiime."
Omar Minaya said the Mets are not considering calling up Anderson Hernandez for the moment.
--- The public address announcer at Shea introduced "Larry the Cable Guy" before the game. You'd think the Mets would not want to draw attention to this "celebrity" sighting. At least there was no flatulence involved.
