Make Opening Night become Opening Day

The Mets Police are spearheading a movement to switch the 7:10 p.m. game against the San Diego Padres, the first real game in Citi Field, switched to a 1:05 p.m. start.

You might ask: Why? Here's their explanation...

It's a new stadium, a new beginning and it's already annoying. If you're interested enough to read my dopey blog then I'm sure you had been to Shea in April for a night game. It's miserable. Even if it's 81 degrees at noon, it will be in the 40s at 8:30.

The Mets are selling "Opening Day" packages. Sunset for Monday April 13, 2009 is scheduled for 7:32pm. Unless the Mets have a deal with God worked out, or they plan to get the game in in under 22 minutes, I think they lie.

Funny stuff. I'm avoiding Opening Day Night, but if anyone is up for this, head over to MetsPolice.com to check out what they have to say.
