Around SBN: Terry Collins, David Wright, And The Mets/Brewers Kerfuffle

Open Gameday Thread, 3/19

Testin' out this newfangled "scheduled posting" thingie.

Giants v. Cubs. The Giants' "speed-'n'-defense 'em into a tie"-strategy might not work in the regular season, but it'll do just fine for the Cactus League.

i thought the brass was considering shifting Sanchez and Correia around so as to not have the LHPs back-to-back? Now is a good time as any to do it, especially with yesterday's off day. This way when Lowry returns he can just plop into Zito's spot in rotation.
