really not looking forward to having Cedeno back, but another RH bat would be nice. Assuming he can get any hits with his…
wonder who goes down for this schlub?
So wait, are you basically saying you did not like the signing made by sandy alderoson????
Rottino?
Side note….anyone read the comment by Frank Francisco?
“I can’t wait to face those chickens. … I want to strike out the side against them (Yankees). I’ve done it before.”
While I like the enthusiasm, if he blows it during this series, I’ll have a strong urge to choke the shit out of him (like I have many times this season).
Rather dumb on his part Even Flow but if your going to talk the talk you better walk the walk and backup those words out on the field.
So who goes down to AAA when they activate Cedeno? Is it Rottino? I heard on the radio that Quintanilla would have to go through waivers. He has been slumping of late but you’d hate to lose the depth his bat gave the Mets. He probably would not clear waivers if put on.
Still once Tejada gets back he may be the odd man out even if they send Rottino down now. Doesnt look as if Spin is going anywhere anytime soon.
if he has to go through waivers then you have to keep him up here, for the time being, although I think Rottino is the obvious choice anyway.
Tonight is a night that it would of been nice to have Tejada back playing SS vs Pettite rather than Cedeno.
Mets optioned Elvin Ramirez to make room for Cedeno.
hmm isn’t there a new rule where you can activate a 26th player for double headers?
I guess we will be seeing Beato soon?
Captain Kirk is being left out in the cold, lately.
According to the new baseball collective bargaining agreement, teams will be allowed to have 26 active players for day-night doubleheaders. The roster expands before the game, and goes back to 25 after the second game.
Does this mean we see Tejada and Beato tomorrow with Rottino going down along with either Valdespin or Quintanilla??
Is there a double header I am not aware of Oleo?
no way this game is getting played tonight and with rain (although not heavy) expected on Sunday night, the Mets have every incentive to not play this one.
They will get the game in…The largest wave of showers is passing now, There may be another smaller one later but not enough of one to call the game.
and then you have the issue of the possible rain Sunday night which means you can’t pitch RA, especially against the Yankees
Glad they kept Rottino if not just for this series since we face 2 lefties in CC and Petitite and we are short on RH bats off bench; but Cedeno batting 2nd, why? Why not Turner who hits behind runners? Why Terry?
Cedeno is not a good bat, low OBP + SLUGGING.
I’ve never liked Turner in the 2 hole. He doesn’t walk and with his RBI prowess, I like him batting 6 or 7..
