On the Mets beat

No Carlos Beltran. No Moises Alou. OK, that's enough about baseball. It was a special morning here at Shea Stadium as Alyssa Milano stopped by to promote her line of MLB-related women's clothing named Touch. The "Charmed" star is a big Dodgers fan -- she's had season tickets for the past four years -- but she claims to cheer for the Mets when they're not playing LA. Milano was born in Bensonhurst and raised on Staten Island, so it's believable. She also plans on being in attendance this week when Barry Bonds visits Dodger Stadium, maybe with the chance of passing Hank Aaron, if he hasn't done so already.

"I think it will be cool to be there," Milano said. "I feel bad for him to do it at Dodger Stadium, but it seems like something he would feed into, the rivalry part of it."

Milano also blogs regularly about baseball. You can check her out here.

OK, OK, if you insist. Here is today's lineup. Beltran still is bothered by a strained abdominal muscle, so he's likely out until at least Tuesday. Alou had his right shoulder wrapped in heating pads this morning after his first game back and he'll probably start the nightcap.

Reyes ......... SS
Gotay .......... 2B
Wright ......... 3B
Delgado ........1B
Castro .......... C
