New York Mets Schedule: Florida First Up For Mets

With New York Mets' Spring Training winding down this afternoon against the Florida Marlins, everyone will thankfully shift gears to the regular season.

Opening Day begins with an intra-divisional battle against the Florida Marlins at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Fla. on Friday. Mike Pelfrey has received the Opening Day start -- and he'll take on the Marlins' talented 27-year-old fireballer, Josh Johnson.

The Mets will play the young Marlins through the weekend, then break on Monday and head up to Philadelphia to face the Phillies for a three-game set beginning Tuesday. The Mets will play their home-opener that Friday, April 8 -- a week from Opening Day -- against the Washington Nationals.

While we don't know what this season will be like, we can always speculate -- and besides games against the Colorado Rockies, Braves and Phillies, the first month of the season will provide a great opportunity for the Mets to get started with some winning baseball -- as they have two matchups against the Nationals, an Arizona Diamondbacks set and a series against the Houston Astros.
