Note: It’s Going to Rain on Saturday

The weather report for Saturday does not look good.

I’m no meteorologist, but, if you go to any weather-related website, all you’ll see is lots and lots of rain every minute, all day, all night, coupled with 20 mph winds.

From what I can gather, if Saturday’s game is rained out, which seems highly probable, it will most likely be replayed on Sunday at 1 pm.

This means, the Mets could realistically be looking at a day-night double header with the Phillies on Sunday, during what could very well be the single-most important series of the season.

As of now, Pedro Martinez is scheduled to start on Saturday.  If Saturday’s game is rained out, I wonder if the Mets will use this opportunity to skip him in the rotation, again, allowing him more time to work on his ‘flexibility.’
