Cliff Floyd, Paul Lo Duca, Shawn Green and Jose Valentin are noticeably absent from today's lineup against Pirates lefthander Zach Duke.
Here's the lineup that will try to nail down the clincher -- on the third attempt.
Reyes -- SS
Chavez -- RF
Beltran -- CF
Delgado -- 1B
Wright -- 3B
Woodward -- 2B
Milledge -- LF
Stinnett -- C
Maine -- RHP
Asked about Lo Duca not being on the field for what could be a momentus afternoon, manager Willie Randolph joked, "He had his chance." It was Lo Duca who flied out to strand Green at second base in the ninth inning of Saturday's 3-2 loss at PNC Park.

Next years lineup :

Beltran cf
Wright - 3b
Vernon Wells - rf from Jays
C Delgado - 1b

Loduca - c
Need a backup first baseman - righedhanded batter for Delgado... backup catcher for Loduca.
add Dontrell or Zito to pitching staff...
Awesome lineup and pitching upgrade..
Barry Zito's agent (Scott Boras?) must be weeping with joy for the bidding war that is to come.
Word is that he'd "prefer" the West Coast" For the Mets to get him, we're looking at one of those crazy Kevin Brown/Mike Hampton seven year deals.
Where's the photo of Anna Benson from the Mets' Christmas party? Forget Barry Zito-- the Mets should get Kris Benson back. They need him.
loduca is nothing but a meatball he thinks he is a real stud. second rate player and person
DONTRERLL, ZITO, WELLS, SORIANO, RIVERA........I don't think so. Loose bucks Freddy has his network and stadium so Met fans get %*^# w/o the benefit of a kiss. What you see now is what you get for next year only a year older.
What you do not see in the LoDuca snapshot Newsday provided, is two rather young 17 1/2 year old hunnies making goo goo eyes next to him. Yeah, just 6 more months and it's say hello to Mr. Sunshine.
Sometimes you have to take a moment and cool down. Everybody has bad days or hard times.
you know what I mean?
bob would need a complete makeover to become a second rate person
Look at THIS picture, Paul LoDuca's eyebrows
are shaped
like two boomerangs.
Completely unnatural.
Very scary and inappropriate
