The Mets take on the Marlins in Port St. Lucie today at 1:10 pm, which you can watch live on SNY.
…this was always my favorite day of the spring, when the Mets would re-appear on my television set for the first time all spring… usually the game was on a Saturday, thankfully, and Ch. 9 would open up with the image of a carton of grapefruit being opened… this, to me, was the official start of spring, regardless of how cold it may have been in Connecticut…
The game will be re-aired at 7 pm on SNY.
Here is today’s lineup, I kid you not:
2B Luis Castillo
RP Oliver Perez
SS Jose Reyes
1B Carlos Delgado
3B David Wright
OF Carlos Beltran
OF Ryan Church
OF Daniel Murphy
C Brian Schneider
…hilarious… though, obviously, it’s to guarantee perez an at-bat before being taken out of the game, in what is typically an early exit for such an early spring start…
By the way, Hanley Ramirez will be traveling with the Marlins today.
