This is the starting lineup tonight:
1. Cory Sullivan CF
2. Luis Castillo 2B
3. Fernando Tatis 3B
4. Daniel Murphy 1B
5. Jeff Francoeur RF
6. Jeremy Reed LF
7. Alex Cora SS
8. Brian Schneider C
9. Livan Hernandez P
Shades of 2004 … only, where is Gerald Williams? At least he had a nickname.
If this lineup isn’t enough to prove the Mets have given up on the season, I don’t know what is. Looking forward to 2010!
BTW, seeing Sullivan and Reed starting simultaneously is not enough proof to my wife that they are two different people. She’s convinced they’re spread far enough apart in the lineup to still be the same person. I’m sure she’ll believe during the bottom of the first, when both take their places in the outfield.
