So who's ready for Spring Training? First game for the Sox is March 5th vs. LA Dodgers.

As ready as I'm gonna be for this year. At least on opening day, my Mets will be in first place. Won't be able to say that the rest of the year. :-) :-)

Well I'm hoping for a full blown disaster in Detriot for my Sox to do anything:-)

Because I'm too lazy to look it up, how far did they move the fences in? Also, were they lowered any?

The Mets are moving in portions of the outfield wall at Citi Field as much as 12feet and lowering the height of the home run line to 8 feet throughout the outfield. The outfield wall will become blue in 2012 concurrent with the Mets 50th Anniversary season. The home run line and distance markers will remain orange.

The Mets will erect a new wall in leftfield starting between the New Era and Caesars signs and angled to the Citi sign in left-centerfield (see renderings below). The new wall will be closer to home plate by approximately 4 feet in leftfield and up to approximately 12 feet in deep left-centerfield.

A new wall will start in right-centerfield and extend toward the bullpen, and be as much as approximately 11 feet closer to home plate. The fence in front of the Mo's Zone/Modell's Clubhouse will move in approximately 10 feet. The distances from home plate to centerfield and the foul poles in leftfield and rightfield will remain the same.

Thanks for the info!:-)

Got a friend coming over for breakfast Sunday morning (Sat evening east coast US) to watch first game of spring training for the Jays. Hope to at least battle for a wild card this year :-)

LAME!!!


BTW, I heard Prince Fielder hit some 600+ ft bomb in BP. Yea it's only BP, but it still makes me :-)

and with that slugging line-up...look out!!...:-):-)....but they still have Mike Pelfrey :-)....speaking of which...

Q: What is the difference between Mike Pelfrey and bowling icon Walter Ray Williams, Jr.?






wait for it...






A: Walter Ray Williams, Jr. knows how to throw a strike.

:-)

Ouch!! Keith is in mid season form. :-) :-)

No worries folks, I'll be here all season!....Gotta keep you grounded Mac, don't want your high Mets expectations running away with you...:-)

Anyone see the "Perfect Club" commercial? JV did pretty well.

This made me chuckle

How about those Rays!!!!! 4 against Verlander in the 9th

Mets still in first place (tie) for another day. :-)

Rangers 4-1, Darvish and Feliz both got W's in their first outings as starters. The boomsticks are picking up where they left off.

Unreal. JV was rolling a 1-hitter coming into the 9th. What a let down.

:-)

That sucks, but what better opportunity than ever to have a uniform with Billy Dee Williams holding a 40 oz. Colt 45 right on the center!:-)
