Carlos Beltran Out With Stomach Virus
When Jerry Manuel posted his lineup this morning, Carlos Beltran was slated to start in centerfield.
However, Beltran had to be scratched because of a severe stomach virus, the same one that caused him to leave yesterday’s game.
Beltran will be replaced by Angel Pagan in centerfield who will also bat leadoff.
Here is the rest of the lineup for today’s rubber game…
1. Angel Pagan, CF
2. Luis Castillo, 2B
3. David Wright, 3B
4. Gary Sheffield, LF
5. Daniel Murphy, 1B
6. Fernando Martinez, RF
7. Omir Santos, C
8. Wilson Valdez, SS
9. John Maine, P

Went to my first Mets game, a Mayors Trophy game at Shea, in '73. We beat the Yankees 8-4 and I was hooked. I marched in two Banner Day parades, and before the Grand Slam single, there was the "Hendu Can Do" grand slam - I was there. I've collected Mets memorabilia all my life and started Mets Merized Online to feed my addiction.

Well this is more the lineup you expect given circumstances, rather than waving the white flag before the game even starts. I don’t believe I have ever seen a Major League manager do what Jerry did with yesterday’s lineup. Must be because he’s a Bush League manager in reality.
