Games to watch in April of 2007

The 2007 MLB season commences on April 1st as the Mets travel to St.Louis in a rematch of last years NLCS. The Mets begin the season with an ambiguous starting rotation and the defending World Series Champs have already lost two starting pitchers due to free agency, but that number might reach three if Jeff Weaver decides to sign elsewhere.

Like many, I can't wait for another exciting Summer of baseball where I will have the distinguished honor of attending several Met & Yankee games. In all, there are 2, 430 games slated to be played between April 1st and September 30th.

The first day of baseball for many teams will be April 2nd and fans will have the opportunity to see many great games. The Phillies and Braves, Indians and White Sox and the Rangers and Angels will all resume their rivalries. On that same day sluggers Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Lee will both make their debuts for their respective teams.

Sports biggest rivalry will resume April 20-22 as the Yankees visit Fenway Park. With revenge on their minds, the Red Sox' will be eager to face their hated rival. Boston makes their first of three trips to Yankee Stadium the following weekend.
