hmm, this is bad because the Mets will need a 6th starter to back around to Santana. Vargas anyone?

Usually, check the channels tomorrow about midday to see if they add the evening game.

the mets started selling 45-55k for games…………back in the day when noone came out, they did the back-to-back games for one admission……now they dont want to lose out on 2 admissions

can’t say i blame them i guess…..it is a lot of money

Yeah, what does this mean for tickets? I assume my 1pm tickets are still for the early game and the ppl w/ tickets from tonight will be for the later game.

Can anyone confirm?

Probably a black out during the day because of the fox game and then a game at night. I’m hoping.

Doesnt matter watch it on Myp2p.eu

You can watch all the games there, blackout, restricted or whatever…it doesnt matter. I have been doing it all year so far.

We’ve been getting the 1PM games, but it may cut off at 4PM when the FOX game starts.

Yeah, I’ve had the same experience w/ MLB.tv. The night game should be fine.

This screws up the rotation. My guess is Vargas gets the callup after his last start. Wise will have to wait a while to join the club now I assume as someone will have to be sent down for Vargas who will have to make 2 starts with the doubleheader against Atlanta looming next week. They really need 3 out of 4 against Wash, and the rotation looks like it will line up as Figueroa, Maine, VArgas and Pelfrey in that series. Ouch. I hope they start swinging those bats soon!

I think I would call up Vargas, DFA Sosa, and have Figgy bounce back and forth to the pen around those double headers. Then Figgy takes over the long man role.

They probably owe Armas Jr. the first shot, so they could call him up for the first DH, then cut him, and call up Vargas for the 5/20 DH.

Armas last pitched on 5/6, Vargas on 5/8, so I guess we will know better if Armas takes the mound tomorrow.

If Sosa stays on the roster I bet he picks up a start. Probably would prefer him starting and sucking them making a roster move for a guy who will perform worse than Sosa

If they bring up Vargas and push back Santana a day, which would be smart, it would end up being Pettite vs. Johan Friday night at the Stadium.

Comment by Nate W.

I think its better to keep Santana on his day (5/15) so he pitches one of the double header games in Atl on 5/20. Of course this means Johan will make 5 or 6 starts in a row on 4 days rest, which isnt his normal thing, but he’s the ace.

Anyone think that Castro will make his debut in the first game so that Schneider can catch Pelfrey in Game 2?

Comment by cafuq

that is a real good idea, so i doubt it will happen

Comment by Wondy
2008-05-09 22:36:51

Thinking about it further, I’m sure you’re right - they won’t want to have Schneider catch the day game Sunday after a night game.

So expect Pelfrey to get blasted again.

Well if Schneider does have the effect on pitchers people here think, I’d rather have him catch two games, then just the Saturday night one for Pelfry.
