New York Mets/Houston Astros

The New York Mets take on the Houston Astros today in Port St. Lucie. Before I get to the linups and pitchers I have to talk about the other news. The Mets lost yesterday to the Tigers 7-2. Jon Niese trying to win the fifth starter job gave up two runs on two hits with two walks. Daniel Murphy played the whole game in leftfield and went 1-5. The only other big news is Johan Santana will be heading to NY tomorrow for what the team is calling a precautionary exam. There is word going around that he may not be ready for opening day but he said today he will not miss any regular season starts so we will see. He did throw in the bullpen today but only 30 pitches saying he feels fine. The key for him though is does his elbow stiffen up again after throwing the bullpen. Ok now on to the lineups and pitchers. 1. Luis Castillo(2b) 2. John Maine(P) 3.Jose Reyes(ss) 4. Carlos Delgado(1b) 5. David Wright(3b) 6. Carlos Beltran(cf) 7. Ryan Church(rf) 8. Daniel Murphy(lf) 9. Brian Schneider(c) The pitchers are John Maine starting followed by Pedro Feliciano, JJ Putz, Duaner Sanchez, Sean Green, Darren O' Day, Carolos Muniz, Nelson Figueroa, Tom Martin, Kyle Snyder, Conner Robertson. The game is on CW 11, enjoy the game Mets fans, I am actually watching it since the yankees aren't on and will be back later with more news and notes.
