Nationals 3 Mets 2

Four straight losses for the Mets, and suddenly, the Nationals are on the verge of hopping over them in the standings.

Here is the lineup the Mets will send to bat against Nationals pitcher Chien-Ming Wang:

Jose Reyes-SS
Ruben Tejada-2B
Lucas Duda-RF
David Wright-3B
Angel Pagan-CF
Willie Harris-LF
Nick Evans-1B
Josh Thole-C
Dillon Gee-P

Willie Harris gets the start in left while Jason Bay rests his slightly injured shoulder.

With all the talk of what hats the Mets donned (or didn’t) Monday night, I figured I might relay an overdue bit of happiness I had locally on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 (I live in Brazil).
