That's right. Huge afternoon at Tradition Field. The Mets' $137.5-million man, Johan Santana, takes the mound for a 1 p.m. start against the Cardinals. Too bad it's only for two innings. For all of you SNY viewers, don't be late or remember to set your TiVos.
Something else that's pretty big -- the health status of Duaner Sanchez. The rehabbing reliever was scratched from yesterday's game
because of "general soreness" and the Mets expect him to pitch at some point today against the Cardinals. If he doesn't, and still needs a break, it might officially be time to worry.
The Mets were irritated yesterday by Lastings Milledge's latest comments, mostly because they really did try to help him. Sure Milledge had a bumpy ride here, but as far as the clubhouse, David Wright and Billy Wagner said it was no different than what every rookie endures.

Please don't refer today's dateline as "Port Santana Lucie," as MLB.com states in a notes sidebar.
Did Santana really homer during BP on Wednesday?
