The Subway Series opener Friday night was rained out and there is no makeup date, though it won?t be this weekend. Andy Pettitte will stay on his regular rest and face Johan Santana, Friday night?s scheduled Met starter, Saturday at 1 p.m.

So much for the Great Weeklong Debate as to whether Willie Randolph should have pitched Johan Santana on normal rest against the last-place Washington Nationals or give him an extra day so can play Friday night against the Yankees.

Managers Joe Girardi of the Yankees and Willie Randolph of the Mets have been asked to serve as coaches for the All-Star Game in the Bronx. Yankee Stadium will host the game July 15 in its final season.
