Jose Reyes has been scratched from the Mets' lineup Sunday due to a tight left ribcage.

No Pujols No Yescobar No Bueno

[Blarg]

If you put Escobar back in the lineup you can take Espinosa out. Hard to believe but the Angels are a much better team with Escobar at third than Espinosa at second. 

[Troll Daddy]

This is why Pujols is batting behind Trout 

[DMVol]

I'm not sure where Scioscia's tipping point is with Espinosa...like Mathis, you may have to take him away from Scioscia or he'll just keep playing him...the way DiPoto did w/ Mathis....Pennington isn't great but he is at least a so-so to below average Major league hitter....Espinosa isn't a big league hitter right now...

It's on Eppler not Scioscia

Yes and no...Scioscia could play Pennington and use Espinosa for defense, Baserunning only....

[Glen]

First off: Cron!

Second, why do you challenge Conforno?

Power of the Contract 

[arch stanton]

1B slugging pct has gone up a bit

[Docwaukee]

Bad decision by Roenicke.

It's not such a huge contract that he needs Eppler of Arte to sign off on him being used in that role.  

[Tyler]

Mets manager trying to get himself fired after this game.

Whatever 

[Kenny]

I love Sunday morning baseball.

Nothing like rolling out of bed and watching a half inning like that.

[Docwaukee]

I like Espinosa in the lineup more than I do pennington.  That's how much I dislike pennington.

That is so crazy.  I am not sure I've ever really disagreed with you before but man I am way on the other side on this one.

Nice pitching by Chavez

[Troll Daddy]

Chavez may be the best off season signing

Mets doing their best Angels impression today
