Watching the Met debut of\u00a0Tim Redding<\/a>, who tonight will become the 860th Met of all-time.<\/p>\n

\"\"Redding will be suited up in\u00a0No. 44<\/a>\u00a0— which belonged to four different guys last year, none of whom I could have told you had I not just looked it up myself, I don’t think. If you’re interested in making a guess in the comments section, go ahead, I won’t say who they are.<\/p>\n

Redding’s accompanying lineup is a little goofy — a continuation of the stuff we saw last night where\u00a0Fernando Tatis<\/a>\u00a0played short and\u00a0Jerry Manuel<\/a>, once again, made a baffling pinch-hitting call that blew up his face with the game on the line. Yet,\u00a0Angel Pagan<\/a>\u00a0starts tonight in left while\u00a0Daniel Murphy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ryan “Doghouse” Church<\/a>\u00a0once again sit.<\/p>\n

\"\"The shortstop is\u00a0Ramon Martinez<\/a>, called up because of a thumb injury to\u00a0Alex Cora<\/a>\u00a0who is going onto the DL today too and\u00a0Jose Reyes<\/a>\u00a0is still unavailable (Mackey Shillstone?). You might remember Martinez as the only Met who could buy a hit in the last week of the season last yea. He was wearing\u00a0No. 22<\/a>\u00a0then but with that jersey since reassigned to\u00a0JJ Putz<\/a>, we’ll have to wait and see what he turns up in. (Updated: He’s wearing\u00a0No. 26<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Seems like only a moment ago I was praising the flexibility of this roster but this is about as stretched out as I’d like to go right now.\u00a0Carlos Delgado<\/a>, you may have heard, is on his way to the operating room and I can’t imagine he reappears until August or so.<\/p>\n

Redding’s recall, by the way, meant another demotion for\u00a0Nelson Figueroa<\/a>\u00a0— who came and went without an appearance — and a continuing tour for\u00a0Ken Takahashi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Right you are, Ken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
