    Hmm…looks like I’ll be taking the day off on April 1st and April 8th.

  2. Charlie says:

    well, if omar doesn’t get his butt in gear, it will be a moot excerise.

  3. Mike Nichols says:

    It’s a shame MLB couldn’t schedule the Mets final series at Shea against the Dodgers or Giants.

  4. gowrightgo says:

    Am I the only one who is excited to have our first game and series against the fish?

    I hope some of last years disgusting last game of the year loss is brought to a head in that game. I’d like to see 3 sick blowouts in the Mets favor and stealing bases up 10 – 1 shoving it in their frickin faces

    • Krusty The Klown says:

      yeah just like the team was like “yeah last year was ours were gonna kill those cards and be determined to win what was ours!” yup they were determined than at the end of the year they got “bored” i’m sick of these cliche comments from the likes of David Wright who said that the collapse was good for them and they will be determined in 07. 05 september loss was “good for the team” the 06 loss was “good for them and will make them determined” 07 collapse is “good for them they’ll never let it slip away again” thats BS ill believe they are determined when they play with some fire, knock down some catchers, stop the dancing when they are losing by 7, ect ect ect

    • breadclock says:

      I’m not excited. Omar and the Wilpons haven’t whipped out the Top Job. That gagging vomity stench that permeates Shea may very well linger until they tear it down. Bringing back Skipper Willie, Notebook Rick Peterson and nearly the entire bored roster intact doesn’t get me tingly at all.

    MATT……THE SITE IS CRAWLING TODAY. MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO WHY. PAGE LOADS TAKING FOREVER

  6. Coleslaw Kennel says:

    I’m too afraid to look. Is it going to be like last year when we had to play all of the previous year’s playoff teams? How bogus was that? Maybe we’ll get a make-good and get to feast on the last-place teams while the Phillies wrestle with last year’s winners. I’m not going to hold my breath for that though.

  7. yup yup says:

    http://www.overtimesports.tk/ This will be a sports forum and we are having a game called “Overtime Sports Mogul League” This is a game where you trade with other gm’s. There is no salalry cap. You Trade with people and we are having real life free agents. We will have 3 groups. You will get 25 million per year for all 3 groups. There is still teams is open. Than in April, we wiil take the teams you built and have like a fantasy baseball with points for each batting average, home runs and so on. Register and come on in and join the sports talk.

    That’s some schedule, looks like the end of May and start of June will be a tough challenge.

    20 games in a row after the Yankee series ends. Two road trips, to Atl, the Rockies and then to SD and SF sandwiched by a homestand against LA and Fl..

    Then another road trip to the west coast coming back without a day off.

    That 20 game stretch early in the year will decide a lot about this team. How deep it is and how healthy.

    Can anyone explain to me why we’re getting the Angels second year in a row?? Seems a bit unfair to pin us against division champs all the time…

    • Krusty The Klown says:

      because we didn’t vs the angels last year…… but it is unfair how we get the yankees 6 times while the marlins get the rays 6 times. also why the heck do we go to colorado 3 times?

    I understand people are tired of santana rumors just like I am. If the yankees or red sox get Santana i dont know what im going to do as a Met fan. Clearly the mets would look at Haren if they do not get Santana, but if they get neither of these guys i think the mets are going 2 b in real trouble this season

  11. Ceetar says:

    I thought we usually alternated with the Yankees, but we’re opening on the road again? ARe we then opening at home for 2009 in Citi Field or are we getting three in a row on the road?

    I hate how my comments get deleted if I forget to log in before typing.

  12. Hit The Weights Zeile says:

    can the MLB please get rid of interleague it has completely lost its luster. i know it makes money so they never will im just venting.

    • kevin2elster21 says:

      You don’t like playing 6 games against the team that spends the most money, that’s not even in our division?

      • christian warrior says:

        I love the good old “Highest Spending Team” excuse.

        It’s not like the Yanks have access to players that nobody else does. They just do what they have to to win. And say what you want, for the most part it works for them.

        • metsftw says:

          it’s not an excuse. it’s a way of shutting up yankee fans. like it’s any accomplishment to win anything with a 200 million dollar payroll. i loved when the Oakland A’s (with under a $40 million payroll) had better records than the yankees.

  13. cver says:

    Four trips to “western cities” in 7 weeks seems harsh, but at least the get it out of the way all at once. Of course, it wold be more all at once, if it was done on only one or two trips, but whatever. Not as awful a schedule as last year. 06 was the best schedule we had in years and conisdering we lost this season by a game or two, our bad schedule certainly might have made a difference (maybe too many games at home actually – lol).

    Of note, is that this is the first time in years that I can recall, where the home opener wasn’t followed by a day off.

  14. Trumpzilla says:

    I see the Phils get to establish dominance over the Mets from the get go…

  15. el_giacomo says:

    On a purely selfish note, I’m stoked to see the Mets at Atlanta on Sunday, September 21st. It’s a mini-tradition of mine to catch a game at Turner on a Sunday nearest my birthday (23rd), and it’s always infinitely better when the Mets are in town (had to watch the Brewers choke against the Braves this year).

    And yes, I’m a Mets fan who lives in Georgia. God I hate the Braves sooooo much. Braves fans and media everywhere. Ugh. Tomahawks, Carays, and rednecks, Oh my!

  16. iluvbuckner says:

    tuesday openers? Who’s decision was that? With most teams having Monday openeres, it puts Shea in more of a spotlight.

  17. JR. says:

    does anyone know when tickets go on sale?
    I turn 21 on the 28th of september and plan on taking a road trip back home from college to see it.

    • truebluesince62 says:

      Generally speaking, single game tickets go on sale on a Sunday in January…..if they keep to form, I would expect that to be January 20th at around 9AM….

      Of course, with this being the last season, they might change things….

  18. fifty7 says:

    Mets have a tough Interleague schedule again. Only Cincinnati’s is tougher throughout all of baseball, based on 2007 win percentages.

  19. sharphill says:

    Notice Phils play Rockies only 5 times, while we get them 9 times (twice in Colorado). WTF?
