Greetings, True Believers! Welcome to Always Amazin's first-ever live blog.

12:31

I'm slowly feeling my way through this software, so bear with me if I'm a little slow at the start.

12:32

The tarp is on the field at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, but they're expecting to start shortly.

12:33

It looks like I'll be live blogging SNY's Beer Money in the interim. Rapture.

12:36

Today's Starters: Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm (5-4, 4.35 ERA) v. the Mets' Tim Redding (1-3, 6.35 ERA)

12:37

I'm always impressed at how perfectly round Chris Carlin's head is.

12:39

Sheff's back in the lineup today, and Wright's still playing.

whats your take on Tatis playing?

12:44

I don't mind that he's playing so much, but I continue to be confused as to why he's anywhere near the middle of the lineup.

12:44

It's not like the Mets will miss F-Mart's bat.

Church in center today.

My thing with Tatis is...as they continue to try and get him going, they don't pay attention to getting the kids going...and who is going to be here longer

12:48

I think we're basically going to have to endure Tatis's presence until Beltran returns. Murphy's not going back to the outfield and you can't start Reed. The Mets could use F-Mart, but I imagine he's laboring mentally.

12:50

I watch shows like Beer Money and then I wonder how I can't get a show on TV myself.

12:51

I'm wondering if all the players took the bus to Pittsburgh together. What a silly story that was...

I always thought Carlin had a perfect face for radio. Shows what I know.

12:51

They're taking the tarp off the field. First pitch about 1:05pm.

unfortunately...lunch is over at 1

[Comment From SizzleChest5]
I thought it was silly too. Then I read Jim's comment in your previous blog post and checked out the mets.com article. It's telling that the players couldn't/wouldn't make a decision and one was made for them.

defeats the purpose if they remained in their clicks while on the bus
