Today's Plans

A lot going on during today's workout at Shea:

* The Mets ran Cliff Floyd through the paces this afternoon. Willie Randolph said he's optimistic, but we could have guessed that. If I were a betting man, I'd say the odds are long for Floyd in this round. Ricky Ledee or Lastings Milledge if he can't go.

* Carlos Beltran said he has an abdominal tear, but it shouldn't hamper him in the NLCS. It's definitely not going to help him.

* The Mets thought about it, and for now Willie Randolph said he'll go with Oliver Perez over Dave Williams in Game 4. GM Omar Minaya opened the Williams door yesterday.

* Orlando Hernandez said he's feeling a lot better and is hopeful for being activated for the World Series if the Mets get that far.
