Yeah I expect Castillo will get booed , especially after seeing how much ground A Reyes can cover out there.

We have had Tatis step into the team as cover when he would have been a bench player , I wonder though how that would have worked out for him, he seems to have benefited from playing every day.

What about Murphy playing first in the near future?

Good work Edgy , Todd Helton looks way over paid the next several years , Miguel Cabrera's deal could turn sour I think.

I quickly went through the 20 page Jets/Giants IGT , 20 pages of crap and graphics.

I was there , section 2, row C upper tank right behind Home Plate.It was Irish night and it was ugly. Backe was great but the Mets were swinging at first pitches all night.

The US men have one Gold and two Bronze , the women did dominate though.

That was a great game , the Koren starter Ryu was cruising through eight then in the ninth the first guy gets on , gets bunted over and Ryu then can't find the plate , although the commentators claimed he was getting squeezed. Yulieski Gouriel made the last out. Ryu looks like a decent pitcher , left handed with some great off speed stuff.

Gotta love how Ayala is all pumped to be in a race , great game tonight.

I knew that but how long before some ask why not , a big blown call in the WS might do it.

We could have used it on the blown call at first base tonight with Delgado.

Kevin Costner? , like Edgy I would like to know if this is the inaugural class. Where is Tony Mullane?

] Bonus factoid: It's Fiesta Latina! The "Los Mets" jerseys are back, and Tito "Mel" Rojas and "Allen" Wason by Negros will perform after the game. The missus is from Puerto Rico and says that Tito Rojas is a big coke head, I didn't ask how she knew that. Anyway post game interviews should be fun.

I tend to agree with Gary Cohen who said last week that he didn't like the idea of introducing this during the season.

I think Keith is the problem , often I hear Ron make a point then say " isn't that right Keith " , and often Keith is not paying attention. I think Keith is now on vacation . I don't want to sound here like I don't like Ron becasue I do.

I think Chipper will get a standing ovation in his last Shea at bat.

This is getting ridiculous now with Chipper (joking). ] Shea Stadium fate hits Atlanta Brave Chipper Jones hard BY KRISTIE ACKERT DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Friday, August 22nd 2008, 12:23 AM Chipper Jones has been thinking about his final chapter at Shea Stadium. As the number of games left at the old stadium where he hit his first major league home run wind down, the Braves slugger could not help but envision a proper ending to his run here when the Braves make their final trip to Shea next month. "I think it would be pretty cool to be the last guy to hit a home run in this ballpark," Jones said with a laugh. "I think that the odds of that are pretty slim to none. "But even to hit a home run here in my last at-bat here would be awfully special." Shea has always been special to Jones. He has played better here than any other road stadium, hitting .310 with 19 home runs and 53 RBI over the last 13 years. He has gone from the antagonist who told Mets fans they could "go home and put on their Yankee" gear on after beating the Mets in the playoffs to being cheered by onlookers in Mets jerseys in last month's All-Star parade in Manhattan. And while he hopes to continue the now-affectionate rivalry with Mets fans into Citi Field next season, he is sorry to see the closing of his "home away from home." He said he will be among the first to purchase seats from the stadium when they go on sale on the Mets' Web site Monday morning at 9. "I am hoping to get a seat with a number 10 on it, " Jones said, referring to his jersey number. "I'd also like to get something blue and orange and something that says Shea Stadium on it. "I have a corner in my basement, my sanctuary, for all my Shea memorabilia." Jones and his wife, Sharon, named their soon-to-be 4-year-old son Shea. "We both liked the name and it just seemed the perfect name," he said. "It was just right to name him after this place." Jones carries with him a shotgun cartridge that he found in Shea's left field. It was left over from the 21-gun salute that was part of the ceremony before the first game played here after 9/11. "I take it with me everywhere," Jones said. "It was a special night." Jones said he will bring his son Shea here when the Braves return next month. "I want him to be able to at least look out at the parking lot and remember the place he was named for," said Jones. "And then he can go out and create as much havoc there as I have always tried to do here."
