Your 2006 NLCS Mets

From David Lennon's blog over at Newsday:



Only 11 pitchers on the roster this time. Sorry, Royce Ring. Welcome back, Anderson Hernandez! Does fewer pitchers for a longer series mean Willie's confidence in our starters has increased after the NLDS, or is it a reflection on how hurt Cliff Floyd is?

Starters are in the order Randolph has announced he'll use them, so Glavine in Game 1, Maine in Game 2, etc. The Bullpen is in the likely order of their appearance, should Willie decide to call on them, i.e. Oliver is the long man, Chadro Felicianoford is the R/LOOGY, Heilman sets up and Wagner closes.

I know Chavez has had a better year, but I'm still glad Uncle Cliffy's on the roster. It just wouldn't be right to have the Mets in the LCS and not hear the theme from Sanford and Son.
