New York Mets at Cincinnati Reds, Apr 8, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
The swag contest is open. If you don't know what that is, go read this introductory post, sign up for an account here and go start swag-ing.
Someone other than Johan Santana is starting for the Mets so, you know, *gulp*.

There are other starting pitchers on this team?
Crap. I hadn’t even thought about that.
Let’s go Mets!

This little nugget from Rotowire / NYDN
After shagging balls in the outfield on Tuesday, Sheffield said that he does not believe he is ready to play in the field yet, according to the New York Daily News.

Probably second-game syndrome
After the buildup and anticipation for Opening Day, the second game always seems dull. And the fact that it comes two days after the opener doesn’t help. It seems like there are always 20,000 people or fewer for the second game at Shea.

I don't know brother,
But I just checked “The Network’s” web site and it states they will be doing Thursday night games. Earlier they said they would be doing a Saturday night game. Wonder when that changed?
