Sorry - I looked for an already existing 'CitiField' thread but couldn't find it. I was fairly sure we had one. Anyhoo - Opening Day was great but I gotta tell ya that stadium out there is quite intrusive. From my brother-in-law's seats this is now the view. It feels like Shea is an enclosed stadium. It's really unsettling. You're used to going to see a game at Shea and seeing sky and open space out there. Now there's just this big honkin' wall. I'm sure we'll all get used to it in a few weeks but wow- when I first walked into the place it just hit me in the face.

Wow that's great. I'm not sure its inspiring, but okay.

What was the old Buckner joke? Something about the Mets team bus on its way to the World Series parade and driving through Buckner's legs. Anybody remember it?

I'm very excited about tomorrow. It will be my 24th consecutive Shea Stadium Opening Day attended (it could actually be the 26th, but the earliest I have recollection of is '85) and the first with one of my children. I feel like I'm passing something on to him. Just wanted to share that.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I'm not nearly as granualar as batting average or "who's fault it is" in my assessment. It's more basic: He cannot be counted on to get the ball out of the infield. My point was more - if the Mets had a good weekend in Atlanta, Castillo's slow start would not be as pronounced. ="AG/DC"]Nobody's condemning his season. As for "was he the reason?" I think it's fair to say he was the Most Counterprocutive Batsman for the team in the series, going 0-9 with no walks, and stranding six runners. He did plate a runner with an out and start a double play. I wouldn't anoint him MCB so quickly. His 1 RBI was one more than Wright had that series. Castillo and Wright also had the same number of hits (0) and strikeouts (2). Wright also stranded at least 5 runners in scoring position (couldn't find a stat for total LOB in that series, just RISP with 2 out in, so it could've been more).

Was Castillo the reason they lost 2 games to the Braves? Nope.

I've got tickets - bringing Junior - but no idea when we'll get there. Lemme know where you'll be and we'll try and stop by.

Saw this on PPV last night. I liked it and gave it 7 Magic Buses. The cinematography was outstanding. Really beautiful landscape shots. I thought the acting on all fronts was very good. Excellent cast - William Hurt, Catherine Keener, Hal Holbrook, Marcia Gay Harden, Vince Vaughn... Rather than think the kid was selfish, I felt for him. He was searching for something and was sure he knew where to find it. Unfortunately he was wrong. Soundtrack was great.

That ball was so obviously not caught - you can't fault Pagan for seeing that and continuing.
-
How do McCarver and Buck pose the question that Pagan should be out because he passed Church, when the only reason he passed Church is because the umpires blew the call? Seems pretty stupid to me.

Checked out a little of the Yankee postgame. Ian Kennedy's got Austin Powers teeth.

Decisions, decisions.

Lord no. That would've scared the shit out of me. What is that - something from 'The Andromeda Strain'?
-
Cliff Floyd hit his second homer of the season in that game to make it 7-4 Rays.
