LOL...you should have seen my commute this morning. A freakin Nor'easter. I walk less than 5 minutes to the train, and I look like a snowman by the time I get there. Spent the train ride dripping on the guy next to me.

On the plus side, lots of people either stayed home or left later, so the trains were mostly empty

I tuned in briefly to Mike Greenberg's new show on Espn "Get Up" earlier today...and they showed the snow coming down like a blizzard outside the studio.

Meanwhile it's sunny and about 67º out here today.

Bastiche...

And it was very nice over the weekend. Saturday was 60 and sunny. Yesterday was mostly cloudy but it was still over 45, which is shorts weather over here.

Gonna rain for the next two days, so we may not even get one game of this Philly series in

And so it's begun.....only 3 games in.



NEW YORK -- Mets reliever Anthony Swarzak has been placed on the 10-day disabled list because of a strained left side.

The 32-year-old right-hander left Saturday's game against St. Louis and said he had never felt soreness in his oblique muscle.

New York recalled right-hander Hansel Robles from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. He was 7-5 with a 4.92 ERA in 46 relief appearances last year.

Swarzak's move to the disabled list was made retroactive to Sunday.
