April 12 -- SHEA, HEY

NEW YORK -- Hello from Shea Stadium. Frigid here today, but the rain has stopped. The forecast calls for a break in the wet stuff, so it looks like the Phillies and Mets will be playing tonight.

One quick note, courtesy of the Elias Sports Bureau: Tonight's scheduled starters, Mets LHP Tom Glavine (41 years, 18 days old today) and Phillies LHP Jamie Moyer (44, 145) have the oldest combined age (85 years, 163 days) of any opposing left-handed starting pitchers in major league history. The previous oldest was in a game started by the Yankees' Tommy John (44, 346) and the White Sox' Jerry Reuss (38, 318) on May 2, 1988; they were a combined 83 years, 299 days old.
