On a day where the Mets started no players slated to be in the opening day lineup, they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 behind three runs in the ninth inning. Journeyman Nate Field got the win, and Joselo Diaz got the save. For the game’s recap, head on over to MLB.com.

A few notes:

Angel Pagan continued to make a case for a spot on the opening day roster, going 3-5 and bumping his average to a scorching 412 for the spring.

Oliver Perez started the game, allowing 3 runs in 2 innings, but had some sloppy defense played behind him.

Anderson Hernandez and Ruben Gotay had 2 hits apiece, and “The Teenage Hitting Machine” went 1-4.

The Mets are now 2-3 in Grapefruit League play.

Carlos Delgado was back in camp after his MRI results came back negative on his hip. He is expected to miss a few days.

The MLB 2K8 video game comes out tomorrow for an array of systems, including Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii. The player on the game’s cover will be none other than our Mets Shortstop Jose Reyes.

I know all you video game freaks out there will be buying the game, but for all you people who do not enjoy video games, I say buy the game, and frame it.

SI.com is reporting that Bud Selig is now considering not punishing the players that were named in the December Mitchell Report on steroids. Selig had previously said that he would punish the players around the time the report came out.

I guess Mitchell’s pleading to not punish the players finally got through to Bud..

ESPN.com is reporting that Carlos Delgado has an impingement in his hip and will sit out a few days. As reported earlier, Ryan Church sustained a concussion and will also be out a few days.

Good news neither of these two are out a significant period of time..

SNY’s Gary Cohen is reporting that OF Ryan Church is going for X-Rays on his jaw after colliding with Marlon Anderson earlier this afternoon.

Cohen also said that “Church has no recollection of the collision”.

 Ouch that cannot be good.

Update 3:15

Church’s injury is being classified as a “concussion” and Anderson’s as a “contusion of the chest”.

1B Marlon Anderson and OF Ryan Church collided this afternoon during todays game and both left with injuries. Both players looked like they took a blow to the head and Anderson looked like he took an elbow to the chest. More news to come on the seriousness of their injuries.

 Update 2:35 SNY is reporting that Anderson looks to be ok, just an elbow to chest, and Church looks to be a little shaken after taking a hit to his head. Both players walked off the field under their own power and look to be ok .

The Mets will play the Dodgers today at 1:10 in Port St. Lucie and the game will be re-aired on SNY at 7pm.
