Yet again, Gary Sheffield will not be in tonight’s starting lineup, as he continues to rest with a cramp in his hamstring.

Meanwhile, Alex Cora will again be out the lineup, as he re-aggravated his injured thumb earlier this week.

…i don’t understand why this team insists on always playing short… if Carlos Delgado and Jose Reyes return, i wonder if they’ll just all play with one hand tied behind their backs, you know, just to make it difficult… ugh, already…

…SNY’s intern, Adam Rotter, just said, ‘Can’t they just forfeit already,’ which made me laugh out loud…

…at this point, i wonder if David Wright is hoping he too ends up on the disabled list, just to get it over with already

Angel Pagan will bat leadoff tonight, followed in order by Luis Castillo, Wright, Jeff Francoeur, Fernando Tatis in left, Daniel Murphy at first, Omir Santos behind the plate and Angel Berroa at shortstop.

Johan Santana will be tonight’s starting pitcher.
