    The New York Mets will have to play their second doubleheader in three days, and they're not happy about it.

    Mets officials called the commissioner's office on Friday night when plans were being discussed to reschedule Friday night's game against the Atlanta Braves, which was postponed by rain.

    The Mets, concerned about the implications to their pitching staff, lobbied unsuccessfully against a doubleheader on Saturday. New York was swept by Colorado in a doubleheader Thursday in New York after being rained out Tuesday.

    New York is scheduled to return to Atlanta on June 14-16 and again Sept. 16-18. The Mets preferred to reschedule Friday night's game for one of those series.
