FYI. This is just a current running projection, its always subject to change. But since Niese is one of the last five Mets to start a game he is in there until someone replaces him.

If not Niese then who?

I think there isnt a good reason to keep him away from the Nats and Braves once each. He probably shouldnt face the Cubs, but if the Mets clinch before that game then why not?

I thought Niese would be gone weeks ago on account of increased workload over last year… but he’s still there.

Currently, the weather looks good for play tonight in NYC. The bulk of the rain is well to the east, with only some scattered light rain to the west. Things can change quick regarding the weather, but as it stands right now it looks like there should be no problems, and if there is any rain it should be minor and short-lived.

well, it stopped raining hours ago in manhattan, so I figure they’ll at least start it (barring insta-storm)

Still, I don’t like ending on Pedro. Not a ton we can do.

I also don’t like ending on the Marlins.

You’d think after last year, they’d scrap this “Let’s not play the Phillies anywhere near the end of the season” schedule.

Let us not underrate the Braves at this point…it will be that kind of mindset going against a Chipper lead Atlanta squad that could doom us in the coming week and a half.

well then, if he keeps sliding, maybe a Met finally gets some hardware. I know everyone would choose a pennant/ring over indy awards, but I’d love to see a Met Cy or MVP winner.
