Check out my new fanshot as to why Beltran isn't playing tonight
Very disturbing

Yeah. Same.
For some reason, the first thing I thought when I heard both Maine and Beltran had flu-like symptoms was, “Oh, shit. The WBC screws us over even more…”

At least according to Cerrone
Maine and Beltran don’t have the same symptoms, apparently they don’t even have fevers, although I actually rather enjoyed his italicized quip about the Mets training staff being unable to read a thermometer. Probably the most entertaining thing he’s written in a while.

Ramon Martinez is playing...
Let’s take inventory for a moment:
-Beltran has swine flu
-Pagan has a strained groin
-Daniel Murphy: thou art banished from left field
-Church has a hamstring strain.
Why does this team need four middle infielders at the moment? Why is R-Mart still on this roster?

The Mets won a buncha games with Ramon
Therefore Ramon = winning player. I call this the Derek Jeter fallacy.

After Murphy 5 RBI and Valdez 3 RBI, they are benched.

Duke is no slouch though. Looking forward to a pitcher’s duel, hopefully a 3-1 Mets win in 2:25 or so.

If the Pirates believe that Nyjer Morgan is the best defensive outfielder in the game (and Neal Huntington apparently does believe this), why is he playing left?

No it isn't.
Sheffield’s misplays in right last night cost the team at least one run and perhaps the game. He misplayed the Adam LaRoche 8th inning hit into a double…Hinske would ground out the very next AB.
He should play in LEFT.

we've got a lefty on the mound
In theory, Pittsburgh should have a righty-heavy lineup, so most hits should go to left.

Jerry is playing Martinez to give him a shot to see whom to keep, him or Valdez

Castillo, Reyes, Cora
should be the 3 middle IF. But if a stopgap is needed while either Reyes or Cora is still on the DL, it should be Valdez.

Funny story
I was at the 2nd to last game of 2007, when Maine nearly threw the no-hitter.
In the bottom of the 8th, with Maine pitching, the little kid in front of my asks his dad, “Daddy, do you think we’ll get to see a no-hitter tonight?”
The woman on the other side of the aisle turns around, gives the kid a death stare.
Like two outs later, Maine lets up that slow dribbler for a hit.
The lady turns at the kid and yells, “Well, I guess we know who to blame!”
It was awkward.

Fangraphs had a nice article on Jim Edmunds today.
Link I think he’s got a good point. Lots of writers won’t vote for him. But he SHOULD get in. Look at this 6 year stretch from 2000 through 2005 in WAR: 6.6, 6.3, 7.2, 7.5, 8.4, 6.9. Unfreaking believable.
This brings up an interesting question. Do you think Beltran will get this treatment when he retires? At this rate, I think Reyes may get treated this way too, thanks to Hanley.
