Additional Notes

The Mets revealed what the Jackie Robinson Rotunda will be like today, which is fitting with it being Jackie Robinson Day around the MLB. You can view the CGI tour by going to this article and than clicking on the link to video that appears right before the write up.

We also a change in the batting order tonight as Willie moved the struggling Luis Castillo to the 8th hole. I liked the move as it got Church who is hitting better right now at the top of the order behind Reyes. I also like it because Castillo is very good at taking pitches, being patient and working a count which can be valuable in the 8th spot as with the pitcher behind you chances of getting a lot of great pitches to hit are slim. Being patient can be an asset. Reyes finally got going as well which is a plus for this team. Hopefully that continues as does the new lineup as it produced tonight.

As stated earlier Dirty Sanchez was activated from the DL today. To make room for him the Mets sent Carlos Muniz who was impressive in the chances he got back to AAA New Orleans.
