If I read my pitching rotation right and can decipher a TV schedule, we should be able to watch former Demon Brian Lawrence pitch against his old team, the San Diego Padres, Wednesday evening.
Lawrence is slated to start for the New York Mets in a 6:10 CST game at Shea Stadium. Brian is 1-0 with a 5.06 ERA, and could easily be 3-0, as the Metropolitans have blown two leads after he's left the bump in his last two starts.
Lawrence spent four-plus seasons in San Diego, getting three Opening Day starting assignments for the club before departing in the 2005 offseason for a better deal in Washington.
In one of the mind-numbing posts of the day, I read a preview of Wednesday's matchup that remarked how odd it was that in 150+ major league starts, Lawrence had never faced the Padres. Duh ....
Somebody got paid to write that. I'm not going to call out the source, but if you google New York Mets pitching rotation, it won't take you long to find it.
