A long day?
As of right now, 3:19, despite a dire forecast and tornado warnings in New Jersey, the Mets stilll are planning to start this game on time, 3:55 p.m. The sun is actually peeking through now, but we wouldn't put a big bet on this one going straight through without a delay. Could be a long day.
It likely won't be the longest May 31 in Mets history. It would take a lot to surpass this date in 1964--when the Mets and Giants went 23 innings at Shea in the SECOND GAME of a doubleheader. According to the official club history, Ed Kranepool, who played in all 32 innings that day, said afterward, "I wanted it to go a little longer. That way, I could say that I played a game that started in May and ended in June."
In any case, here's today's (or tonight's) starting Mets lineup:
Reyes SS
Chavez RF
Wright 3B
Beltran CF
Delgado 1B
Easley 2B
Schneider C
Tatis LF
Pelfrey P
