Game Preview: Nationals @ Mets -- 4/17

The New York Mets look for their first sweep tonight as they take on the Washington Nationals at 7:10 p.m.

Lineup:
SS Jose Reyes
RF Ryan Church
3B David Wright
1B Carlos Delgado
CF Angel Pagan
LF Brady Clark
2B Luis Castillo
C Raul Casanova
SP Nelson Figueroa

Figueroa vs. John Lannan

Carlos Beltran is out with a stiff neck. I guess all that talking he with Reyes was really taxing. Pagan getting his first start in center and Clark getting his first start in left. Casanova seems like Figueroa's catcher now, I like it.

  3. Casanova will go down.

    I'm more worried about what happens when Wise comes back.

  5. Thanks Ellie.

    Don't worry, I have the same admiration for Smith. That's why I've nicknamed him "The Man."

    But Wise is getting paid too much to not do anything...Smith is the easiest decision to send down, IMO.

  7. It should be interesting to see what they do when Pedro is ready. I have absolutely no idea right now.
