Two games and Delgado batting seventh

I know it's pretty bad how the Mets handled the rain out last night, waiting until 8 p.m. to postpone the game, but I love doubleheaders.

I'm pumped. I remember Mike Pelfrey pitched in a doubleheader before (trip down memory lane here) and the Mets put up a 17-spot against the Marlins. Let's hope for the same results tonight. (Yes, Pelfrey is starting tonight as Johan Santana is pitching the day game.)

And last night, Carlos Delgado was planned to bat 7th in the batting order. I like this, as Willie Randolph tries to break up the lefties in the batting order, and protects Carlos Beltran was going to bat in front of Ryan Church.

Smart move, Randolph, though I still think Church should be batting second.
