5. Juan Lagares (R) CF
6. Mike Baxter (L) RF

Cozart is hurt, right? That's the only way I can explain this to my sons. :laugh::confused::roll::scared::scared:
Today is a must win game if you want to play the Wild Card game in Cincinnati.
Put Cozart at 8 and you have my WC lineup in Pit or Cin! :)
Reds at 12:35, Cards at 1:45, Pirates at 2:20.
I suppose we'll know quite a bit by the time most of us leave work around 5 today.
Businessman's Special?
Looks like my productivity is going to take a massive hit at work today. :)Quote:

I don't mind this change at all... I'm a businesswoman and I'm enjoying the game today... (Took the day off from work). :DQuote:

Mets TV guys commented that Mes had some trouble holding on to the ball last night. But complimented his throwing arm.
Though I've never watched them, aren't the Met's broadcasters known for being one of the better crews in the game?Quote:

Dusty said Cozart had played 34 games without a break. Smart to rest him now IMO. Give him the two day break.
Izturis can't hit but he's very competent at shortstop and Cozart needs to be ready for all the games to come.
Glad it's not an injury, or at least apparently it isn't.
I think they are. Cohen and Darling are very good. Hernandez rubs some folks the wrong way he's old school but I think is pretty good too.Quote:

Fifteen pitches for Latos, 1-2 count on Duda, two outs man on first. Stolen base by Murphy.
Their PBP guy (can't remember his name) and Ron Darling are good. Keith Hernandez is not. He's very smug and has that holier than thou attitude.Quote:

No dice for the Mets. Bit of a pun.
Kelch and The Cowboy are doing the Reds TV broadcast today.Quote:

He wouldn't have to try very hard to be holier than moi. :laugh:Quote:

Missed first inning...did Billy look completely clueless on his K?
Yep. Swung through a couple of strikes.Quote:

Nice easy inning by Latos.
Best part of the Mets broadcasting team, both on TV and radio, is their knowledge of the game. They seem to know more about the Reds and their players than some of the Reds announcers. This allows them to give very informative anaylsis.Quote:

Lovely...early Dice K looks like Cy Young against our Reds.
Bless you, Jay. Single to right after BP looked bad.
Toddfather up now...1 out.
Dice K mowing down the Reds so far. C'mon Redlegs, guy hasn't been any good since 2008.
First hit of the game. Line single by Bruce.
Are those baseballs made out of Flubber? Catchers are having a difficult time catching them.
