BREAKING NEWS: 8 MONTHS FROM THE CITI

Had to post this news: Gary Cohen just said on the Mets broadcast that the Mets will play their first game at Citi Field 8 months from today - Tuesday, August 14th, 2009 (he said Monday, but the calendar says that's a Tuesday). Apparently the way the calendar shakes out next year, the season starts a week later than usual. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't start late enough - I don't have spring break until the following week.

I have to find my way down for that game...at least now I know I have 8 months to plan how I'm going to get out of school.
