Sorry for the late post. I watched this game archived on MLB TV and in somewhere the fifth inning, it just cut out. I finally got it to work again (after accidentally seeing the final score) and by the end of the game, I was too tired and cranky to write at 4:00 AM.

I mean I wasn’t Charlie Manuel cranky or anything, but still, you get the idea.

What I took from last nights game is how elite Jose Reyes is in the field. The play into the hole with an on target throw was highlight reel worthy for a man with and extensive highlight reel. His impromptu turn of two was the kind of play that leaves you puzzled, thinking “how’d he do that?” while waiting for a replay to make sure your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. Jose Reyes is that good, and he’s getting better.

Troublesome to see Paulie Ballgame in so much pain, this early, you would like to see him come off the field right away to err on the side of caution, but Paulie’s a gamer. Nobody tells Paulie to come out. I heard that Paulie once punched a folk singer. That’s right, you heard me. Preliminary reports indicate that it’s just a bruise, but we’ll see. Look for Castro in tonight’s lineup. Willie really needs to give Endy the start and let him hit in the number 2 hole. Reyes, Chavez, Beltran spells trouble for any pitching staff.

Anyway, its down to Florida for non freezing temperatures and the D-Train. Those of you who are MLB TV subscribers from last year dread the trip to Florida, as the game will be shown by the Marlins broadcast, so for the next three days, every pitching change brings:

If you need a car

Truck or van

Who you gonna call

Mull-rooney!

Good lord, thank god it’s only a two game series!
