Mets higher-ups were accepting compliments on Monday night for their stunning new ballyard, Citi Field, which has nothing in common with the former, dreary, dumpy ol' Shea Stadium aside from its location near the intersection of Grand Central Parkway and Roosevelt Avenue.

Sabathia was a little off with his control in his dreadful Yankees debut -- like maybe a zip code or two off.

Only moments after Phillies manager Charlie Manuel raised the 2008 world championship flag in center field, the Atlanta Braves strongly signified it was a different year, silencing the early celebratory cheers with a trio of long home runs within 20 minutes of the season's start, plus eight superb, two-hit innings by new Braves ace Derek Lowe.
