The Mets are going to go 162-0 after their 6-1 win.

Everybody but the Mets and Cardinals (who have the day off) and the Giants and Padres (who start Tuesday), gets underway.

10:05 am - Tampa Bay at the Yankees - Scott Kazmir faces Carl Pavano. I think the Bronx Banter guys will have a fun time with this one. And ESPN will be showing this!

10:05 am - Atlanta at Philadelphia - John Smoltz vs Brett Myers. The Phillies begin their annual quest to frustrate their fans by continuing to be sort of good.

10:05 am - Florida at Washington - Dontrelle Wills vs John Patterson. A battle of aces!

10:05 am - Toronto at Detroit - Roy Halladay vs Jeremy Bonderman. The Tigers were in the World Series last year. In case you forgot about that.

11:05 am - Dodgers at Milwaukee - Derek Lowe vs Ben Sheets. Go visit Dodger Thoughts and react to Juan Pierre's first Dodgers AB.

11:05 am - Cleveland at White Sox - C.C. Sabathia vs. Jose Contreras. I picked the Indians to win the World Series last year. That was not wise.

11:10 am - Cubs at Cincinnati - Carlos Zambrano vs Aaron Harang. Harang led the NL in wins (with five others) and strikeouts last year. Harang received no Cy Young Award votes.

1:05 pm - Arizona at Colorado - Brandon Webb vs Aaron Cook. Webb received many more Cy Young votes than Harang.

1:10 pm - Boston at Kansas City - Curt Schilling vs Gil Meche. ESPN knows that Gil Meche's debut in K.C. will be a big draw.

3:35 pm - Oakland at Seattle - Dan Haren vs Felix Hernandez. Mariners fans breathe a sigh of relief as Rey Ordonez ends up as the last player cut.

4:05 pm - Pittsburgh at Houston - Zach Duke vs Roy Oswalt. Hope springs on an infrequent basis for the Pirates. 14 straight losing seasons for the Bucs, two short of the record 16 by the Phillies.

4:05 pm - Baltimore at Minnesota - Erik Bedard vs Johan Santana. The Orioles prepare to continue their quest for eternal irrelevancy.

7:10 pm - Texas at Angels - Kevin Millwood vs John Lackey. For our friends on the East Coast, I will give you a preview of tomorrow's newspaper "Texas at Angels, night"

Thanks, Bob. Now that I'm in college, I don't actually read the printed newspaper, so I would have missed that.

Crawford looks cold. Let's hope someone can get him into the dugout very quickly.

Poor A-Rod. That's not going to be a good way to start the year.

At least Carl Pavanno made through the first inning without spiking himself or getting hit by a bat or something.

The Yankee's are going for the infield error cycle.

Phelps just contributed. Now we just need Cano to fulfill his destiny.
