Must be the Mets' year ...
Is Omar Minaya a genius or what? Trades Lastings Milledge and L-Millz goes 0-for-4 in his debut Sunday night for the Nationals. Lets Paul Lo Duca walk, primarily because of his defensive shortcomings, and Washington's new catcher spits up the passed ball -- with two outs in the ninth inning -- that allows Martin Prado to score the tying run from third.
And on top of all that, the Braves STILL lose when Ryan Zimmerman takes Peter Moylan deep in the bottom of the ninth. When the Mets take the field today for their 4:10 p.m. start at Dolphin Stadium, they'll already have a half-game lead over Atlanta, even if they now trail the Nats by a half-game.
If you still haven't had your full of hype -- there's only eight hours left before first pitch -- you can read all about the Mets finally getting their chance to exorcise the demons from 2007 this afternoon. Also, check out the final roster moves, along with yesterday's not-so-surprise announcement that Mike Pelfrey is the Mets' fifth starter.

Martin Prado (pinch-running for Teixeira) scored the tying run for the Braves.
My bad. Thanks finman (marlins fan, i'm guessing?)
Lennon, it's pretty tough to mask your dislike for Milledge?? You must've been salivating after 1 single game Milledge goes 0-4. Enjoy it while you can. Let's see after the he faces the Mets 18 times this year. He'll leave his mark - I guarantee it!
Hey Sean ... Not true. I liked Milledge. I think he'll have a good year, too. Just poking fun at the situation, that's all. The Mets traded him, not me.
So with this roster how are they supposed to rest Wright and Reyes? They have only Easley that is more a 2nd baseman and Castillo needs more help with those knees. Good thing we sent down Anderson and got rid Gotay to keep that extra OF in Clark. Now we have 5 OF's or 6 if you count Marlon Anderson. This bench is horrible.
