The weather wasn't going to be amazin' for the Mets home opener at CitiField -- so the team postponed it a day.
Friday brings much better luck, weather-wise. It'll be a bit breezy but dry, with some sun and temperatures in the 50s. The game against the Brewers, which had been scheduled to start at 1:10 p.m. Thursday, will now start at 1:40 p.m. Friday. Gates will open at 11:40 a.m. and parking lots will open an hour before that.
Tickets for Thursday's scheduled game can be used at Friday's.

The Mets had been facing potential weather-related delays throughout Thursday afternoon. So postponement was a good call.
Thursday looks to be a total washout. The showers that started arriving Wednesday evening in the tri-state will continue (and likely worsen) throughout the day.
As much as two inches of rain could fall for much of the NYC area from Thursday's storms. Some spots in southern Jersey could see even more — but pretty much everyone can expect a wet day.
Hour-by-hour forecast for Thursday
Overall, the weekend looks good, aside from some patchy sprinkles late Saturday night. The risk of showers returns by the middle of next week, with temperatures expected to linger in the mid-to-high 50s through the 10-day forecast.
