Hello everyone. Rod Boone here in for our guy David Lennon. He's feeling a bit under the weather today, so I'm pinch hitting for him.
One quick note: Pedro Martinez has arrived. He just spoke to the media and was bursting with excitement. He said he feels the Mets owe the fans something for the way things ended last year and is looking forward to injecting a little personality into the clubhouse and keep the team loose. Rather than going Tuesday in San Francisco, his preference would have been to start Sunday's game if it was up to him because he wanted to make his return in front of the home fans. Erik Boland is writing the story on "Petey" later so look out for that.
Ok, here's the lineups:
Mets (26-26)
Reyes SS
Castillo 2B
Wright 3B
Beltran CF
Tatis RF
Castro C
Delgado 1B
Evans LF
Maine P
Dodgers (26-27)
Pierre LF
Kemp CF
Kent 2B
Loney 3B
Martin C
Ethier RF
DeWitt 3B
Maza SS
Kershaw P
