Tim Redding Good; Offense, Too: Mets 10, Marlins 3

Towing the worst lineup I've seen in at least a few days, the Mets pounded out ten runs and seventeen hits in pubishing the Marlins 10-3 to salvage the final game of their three-game series. Every starter had at least two hits -- yes, even Wilson Valdez -- as the Mets proved that old axiom that even the sun shines on a dog's ass some days.

What's more, Tim Redding turned in his second-straight respectable start, keeping the Marlins to three runs on five hits over 6.2 innings. Though three runs will often be too many for the Mets' offense to overcome, I guess this was Redding's lucky day.

I'll be at the Friday afternoon game at Wrigley, weather permitting, and I'll likely be treated to a repeat of this star-studded lineup with the added bonus of Pat Misch's first start of the season. Ted Lilly will be on the mound for the Cubs; start time is 2:20pm EDT.

Man

I love it when we pubish the Marlins

I know it's just an honest mistake

But the word pubishing could mean so many things, most of them hilarious

Bad day for the draft sweepstakes

Good day for Danny Murphy, who just might to live up to his 40th percentile expectation level.

Nothing can get by him; especially in a small room: Mike Francessa

What do you mean by "even Wilson Valdez" ?

Mets lost 5, enter Oil Spill, Mets score 10. Marlins only scored 3 because Valdez couldn’t get those HR’s.

You can't contain the Oil Spill.

You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.

Yes

He’s just too slick.

Using some complex formulas and calculations I believe I have found the reason for the Mets negative run differential.

Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:
