Cliff Lee, fighting for the five hole in the Indian wagon circle, gave up two runs immediately, and left the game in the first. Olmedo Saenz (We have Olmedo Saenz? My perennial black horse to sit on my fantasy bench, Olmedo Saenz?!?!) doubled and then scored in the first on a walk, the last pitch from Lee. Saenz also added a solo shot in the fourth. A career day for Olmedo.
We also got some quality out of Reyes today - second baseman Aregnis Reyes.
And why would I spend so many words on these guys? Because these guys are your New York Mess.
From ESPN:
Lee faced a Mets' lineup missing all of its big names as manager Willie Randolph's injury-bugged squad didn't have Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Moises Alou, Ryan Church, Jose Reyes, Luis Castillo and others, who all stayed back in Port St. Lucie to either rehab or work out.And Oliver Perez? ...tagged for six runs and six hits in his second start this spring.
Meet the Mess. Greet the Mess. Come on out to Shea, or watch on your tv, and pay an exorbitant amount of money to watch the other teams Beat the Mess.
Also, this is awesome:
Oft-injured pitcher Mike Hampton of the Atlanta Braves left his spring training start Friday because of a strained right groin.Mike Hampton is awesome.Hampton, who hasn't pitched in a major league game since August 2005, made it to the second inning of his second outing this spring before getting hurt.Hampton's return
After sitting on the sidelines for 2½ years thanks to injuries, Mike Hampton is back in spring training with a baseball in his hands. And he's loving every minute of it. Story
Wait and see. We'll get one of these two All-Stars to fill one of our gaping holes.
