What the hell am I going to do now?

They're making the Pirates return to New York on August 11. They should just do a day/night doubleheader on Wednesday. In August, they may very well wish they had that off day.

OTOH, we might have more available players that time of year.

Too late. I've already committed to laundry. Plus, I've been nuts for years. Thanks anyway.

i think Heilman's failing them in the clubhouse too http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080428&content_id=2605008&vkey=news_nym&fext=.jsp&c_id=nym ] Because of the rescheduling, the Mets will play each day beginning Aug. 5 and through Aug. 27. The prevailing preference of the players was to play two games Tuesday and not lose a late-season day off when fatigue is more likely to be an issue than it is now. Some players were miffed that the August date was chosen by the club. The collective bargaining agreement between the Players' Union and the clubs limits to 18 the numbers of consecutive days a team can be scheduled to play. However, a rescheduled game can be inserted in the schedule even if the number of consecutives days with games exceeds 18. Aaron Heilman, the Mets' player rep, said playing Aug. 11 was "the best option we were given." He had to sign off on it. But, as he said, "We have to authorize it, but we have only suggestive power."

Seems to me that the club should be working with the players on shit like this , everyone needs a day off.

Maybe August 11th will be a game that Pedro and Moises both start.

It's easier for them to make money off of an August game than it is to make money off of a Pirates doubleheader in cold, damp April...money is more important than logic...
