Lots of rumors the Mets are changing their batting order tonight also, moving Beltran to the #2 hole and putting David Wright in the 3 spot. This move should hopefully wake up Beltran and put the Mets best hitter in a position to get more AB's with speedy agressive intelligent baserunners on for him to drive in.
However there is a good chance this game gets rained out tonight.

What I have head is that they will take out Cairo and move everyone up a spot - Beltran to 2, Floyd to 3, Wright cleanup and so on.

Well I sure don't doubt youve thought about this one.lol The Mets do look like the right call, but looks a bit scetchy at that small price. You may be on to something with the rain. I'm staying away.GLcincy_ said:I am checking out everything I can on this game, and the only thing I can think of is that if there is a downpour after say 3-4 innings and the starters can't go any longer, the Phillies will lay a whooping on the Mets bullpen.
