The Phillies season starts today. Yes, I know they stand 3-4 after the first week of the season.

But it gets serious this afternoon.

That’s because the Phils are in Shea Stadium. Yep, the NL East Champions will be on the docket as the Mets finally hold their home opener – the last one in Shea Stadium history. They’ll move to a new stadium next year.

But the move likely will not erase the memory of the New Yorkers’ epic collapse last year, coughing up a gaping lead over the Phils, who took the crown on the last day of the season.

This is the date the Mets have had circled on their calendar. They will be looking to erase a memory that has hung over them like a shroud since that fateful October Sunday.

Game time is 1:10. Jamie Moyer on the mound for the Phils. Trash talking likely to start several hours before the first pitch is thrown.
