Mets @ Cubs

Here is the line-up that will face Ryan Dempster:

Reyes
Murphy
Beltran
Bay
Turner
Harris (CF)
Paulino
Tejada
Niese

My Prediction: I was told by a little birdy he thinks the Mets are going to win 5-2, but I'm going against the Birdie and say the Mets lose 3-2.

P.S. Some may wonder why I haven't discussed the New Yorker article/the new SI article. 1) The Real world is getting in the way. 2) It's been assumed the Mets payroll would be around 100 million next season. So why the panic now?

Let's Go Mets
