Not a game, thankfully.
Fate was on my side last night, and the Mets / Braves season opener was rained out, most likely to everyone's dismay but mine. The teams will try again today at 3:55 p.m., though it looks like more rain is in the forecast. I'm guessing there will be a delay today, because the field is probably under water. The game will be made up on May 20.j
John Maine and Tim Hudson were both pushed back a day, so they're today's matchup.
Stuff I missed:
-Duaner Sanchez, another player on the comeback trail, gave up two solo home runs in his rehab start last night for Class-A St. Lucie.
Not good Dirty. I think he'll be on the DL for longer than we all expected.
-The Mets are not expected to sign Claudio Vargas.
We're not that desperate for pitching...yet.
-FARK.com is campainging for Rick Astley's, Never Gonna Give You Up, to be the write in candidate for the 8th inning song.
I support this RickRoll to the fullest extent. I wouldn't be happier if I could get RickRoll'd every 8th inning at Shea.
