First spring training game today

The Mets, well...some of them, are jumping on the bus to Fort Lauderdale Stadium to take on the Baltimore Orioles.

Adam Rubin relays the starting line up:
Luis Castillo -- 2B
Daniel Murphy -- LF
Angel Pagan -- CF
Ryan Church -- rf
Ramon Castro -- C
Alex Cora -- SS
Nick Evans -- 1B
Jose Valentin -- 3B
Fernando Martinez -- DH

Sean Green
-- RHP
The Castillo lead off experiment continues. I like Murphy in the two-hole. Let's see what he can do.

Yes, Green is a reliever. He's just "starting" the game, and won't be pitching much more than two innings, if that.

The game begins at 1 p.m., but will not be available on radio or television. (Tomorrow's home game against the Marlins will be the first televised game -- I'll be live blogging, but I have class at 2 p.m.)

Real, meaningful baseball is tantalizingly close.
