projected lineup? Does Santana get the start, or Dickey?

Johan's in extended spring training but he'll be ready when they need a 5th starter.

Subplot: Battle between reigning and former Gold Glove/Silver Slugger third basemen. David Wright comes out of the winter super well-compensated but according to the votes of National League coaches and managers, he's no Chase Headley.

Edgy MD Jan 18 2013 07:07 AM Re: IGT 4/1/2013: SDP @ NYM -- 52nd Season's the Charm

David still gets the WBC nod. How did Head add 100 points to his slugging percentage last year? Oprah wants to know.

I just noticed that the Red Sox are playing the Yankees in the Bronx at the same exact time the Padres are playing the Mets in the Queens. It's rare that both New York teams are home at the same time and I think unprecedented on Opening Day, no?

Gwreck Apr 01 2013 08:23 AM Re: IGT 4/1/2013: SDP @ NYM -- 52nd Season's the Charm

Yes. Scheduling quirk due to the changes in interleague and the Mets hosting the All-Star game as a further schedule constraint. The last time two NY teams opened at home on the same day, there were three of them in the City.

Down the left-field line, roped into the corner. Buck scored with a Barajasian chug/send around third. No real play at third on Tejada, who advanced on the throw. Back to current action: Hawky with the poke over third base, brings home Tejada. Thanks, Hawky. Double thanks, Cody Ransom, for playing the line at 50 feet.

Good base running by Cowgill as noted by Gary and his coach when he descended the steps .......Keith is all over Gyorko........has been all day....I do like how Keith gets exasperated with players....or plays they should be making.

A great day at the park - a Mets thumping, some Yankee loss scoreboard watching, an Italian hero from Mama's of Corona. It was nice to see Rice do so well in his debut. I haven't gone to an Opening Day in at least twenty years, but this year's 15-game pack included either the opener or a Yankees game and I never go to the Yankees game anyway. Totally worth a vacation day.

Yeah, outfield walls that sit only a few inches in front of a structural wall behind it create too much confusion. Proposals: 1) Pull outfield wall forward by 24 inches, allowing outfielders to make pullback plays. 2) Coat structural wall behind with a raised layer of tin, allowing for a definitive clank when the ball hits off of it. Great to have a lundy sighting.

Good seeing Lundy (second year in a row, I believe) and many others. Only down note to whole beautiful day was overzealous security guard who reinforced for me the folly of Jordany Valdespin not wearing a cup at the ballpark. Because with this guard on duty, you really needed one. No kidding. Very strange. My theory is with two openers happening at once, they had to bring in non-ballpark types who were probably not given proper instructions. I'm pretty familiar with the friskers and wanders where I enter and this guy was a new face/pair of hands. Or maybe he was just happy to see me.
