Prior to today’s game, Jerry Manuel told reporters that he will begin using Ryan Church every day in right field, meaning Daniel Murphy, Fernando Tatis and Nick Evans will split time in left.

Well this makes no sense. With John Maine on the DL, it made it much easier for the Mets to bring Luis Castillo back from his extended stay on the disabled list.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, since 1920, no big-league team has made the post-season with three players, all 25 or younger, leading the team in wins, RBI or runs scored.
