Worst. Lineup. Ever.

New York Mets
One of the Many Minor Leaguers in Friday's Legendary LineupI get that the Mets have injuries. I'm not expecting much. In fact, what I've come to expect is basically what I witnessed in person earlier this evening. That is to say, a ship without a rudder aimlessly wandering through the seas waiting for some one or some thing to mercilessly end the journey. None of this changes the fact that the lineup the New York Mets rolled out for a regular season game at Citi Field tonight was one of the most staggeringly pitiful collection of so-called Major Leaguers I can remember. Ever.
I could talk about the game and chronicle the pathetic effort. I could talk about Bronson Arroyo's continued career domination of the Metros. There would certainly be ample opportunity to break down Arroyo's four-hit complete game shutout. Not going to do that, though. Nope, just going to let you fair readers check out tonight's Mets lineup and let the beauty of it all just wash over you. Don't pinch yourself. This is, in fact, a Major League starting slate.
Imagine a PA announcer belting this out. Now, imagine it actually happened.
Leading off...in centerfield...#16...Angel Pagan
Batting second...the shortstop...Alex Cora
Hitting third (editor emphasis)...the (ahem) first baseman...#28...Daniel Murphy
Batting clean up...#5 David Wright
Batting fifth...the rightfielder...Jeremy Reed
In leftfield...Fernando...Tatis
Batting seventh...the catcher...Brian Schneider
At shortstop...batting eighth...Argenis Reyes
And on the mound for the Mets...Fernando Nieve
Now, outside of Mets fans, there have to be a least a fair number of "who's?" going on. I don't blame you. It's downright laughable at this point. Luckily, I get to watch Jeff Francouer swing at absolutely everything now. Should be fun. Mets = good times!

Shutout for the 3rd time in five games and you trade for a guys batting .250 and 5 HRs. Oooofff.
