It's MLB preview day

April 5, 2009 - 10:00 AM

The Phillies and Braves throw the first pitch of the season tonight and The News makes its inside delivery with today's baseball preview section. Here's the starting lineup:

Jerry Sullivan leads off with 25 players at 25.

Check out an expanded installment of the Harrington Top 30. (put your cursor over the pictures of yours truly and Sully embedded in that story and you'll see how different our picks are for the season. Sully: The Braves for the NL wild card? Uh, no).

Jay Skurski looks at how cold weather might impact your fantasy team's start.

Alan Pergament runs down the TV/radio lineup.

--Join me here Monday at 11 a.m. for a live chat about the majors, the Bisons and anything else about the national pastime. And be sure to check out the sports section Wednesday for a complete look at the Bisons' first season as a Mets affiliate.
