I will post the NYM lineup when I see it.

Just a few game (mets) notes:

Mets: Reyes likely out for series opener
The Mets will still likely be without star shortstop Jose Reyes in Monday's series opener. Reyes injured his right oblique last Wednesday in Puerto Rico, and manager Jerry Manuel said he expects Reyes to return to action on Tuesday.

Mets left fielder Jason Bay is 17-for-46 (.370) lifetime against Aaron Harang, with five home runs and six doubles. Teammate David Wright is 8-for-12 with two doubles and a homer off the Cincinnati right-hander.

I hope one of our wonderful media types get an update on Ramon Hernandez.

True dat, I meant to mention that he wasn't in the lineup and ask if anyone had heard anything. I think I read yesterday he did something to his leg sliding into 3rd base.

[Reds]

Actually this is lifted from cincinnati.com, this is what I read:

HERNANDEZ HURTS KNEE: Catcher Ramon Hernandez was lifted from Sunday’s game with a sore knee. Hernandez hurt the knee sliding into third base, on his two-run triple in the sixth inning.

Baker said Hernandez was removed as a precaution. Hernandez’s replacement, Corky Miller, came in and joined the Reds’ seven-homer parade with his first homer since last September.

a win tonight gives the reds a 2 game lead because the Cards are off!

Might be their biggest lead of the year. Im not sure if they have a 2 game lead.

[Reds]

I think we've only had a 2 game lead for a few hours until the Cards won that same day. We'd also go to 12 over if we can win.

[Reds]

Catcher Ramon Hernandez was out of lineup after injuring his knee Sunday in Chicago. Corky Miller started.

“He’s got swelling in there that he didn’t have yesterday,” Baker said. “He’s a little sore. Hopefully, he’ll be better tomorrow. He’ll get treatment all day in case I’ve got to pinch-run or pinch-hit for Corky late in the game.

“The trainer is probably tired of me asking every 15 minutes.”

Could Hernandez catch in a pinch tonight?

“I don’t know yet,” Baker said.

And the emergency catcher?

“I’m not sure on that either,” Baker said.

Baker said it would probably Paul Janish.

Ryan Hanigan went 2-for-4 on his rehab assignment last night. He caught for the fifith time.

Travis Wood is pitching tonight. Harang is out with lower back pain. Hmm.

[bgkyredsfanatic]

Harang scratched, Wood to move up a day

[GIDP]

Wood only threw 91 pitches in his last start so he should be alright to go.

[FlyerFanatic]

damn was hoping to hear we dealt harang

[RedsFanInBama]

So is every pitcher going to have to move up and pitch on three days' rest for the rest of the road trip? How do we get these guys back on track? If the back is bad, I guess Harang to DL and probably Lecure back up? If not, does Micah take a start?

[Reds]

We'll probably have to wait until after the game for those answers.
