Here is this afternoon’s Met lineup:

1. Jose Reyes SS Ruben Tejada SS (Reyes is fine, he’s just getting a day off)
2. Justin Turner 2B
3. Lucas Duda RF
4. David Wright 3B
5. Angel Pagan CF
6. Jason Bay LF
7. Josh Satin 1B
8. Mike Nickeas C
9. Mike Pelfrey RHP

vs. Livan Hernandez

Talking points:

• The Mets lost last night 8-7 in D.C. They were beating the Nationals 7-6 going into the ninth, but Bobby Parnell allowed Washington to rally and allowed the walk-off single to right field just out of the reach of Lucas Duda.
• Mike Piazza turns 42 today. He hit .296 with 220 home runs as a Met in parts of eight seasons.

My take:

• Last night’s loss: The only positive part thing I got from this game was the offense coming back. Gee was awful. Parnell couldn’t shut the door. Just not a great game.
• Mike Piazza‘s birthday: Happy birthday to the future hall of famer!
