Sporting News Ranks Citi Field 18th out of 30
Sporting News ranked the MLB stadiums 1-30. Citi is #18.
18. Citi Field, New York (OPENED: 2009. SEATS: 41,800): Some complain that the Jackie Robinson Rotunda isn’t Mets-specific. Our response: Get over it.
In case you are wondering
10. Yankee Stadium, New York (OPENED: 2009. SEATS: 52,325): It’s homage enough to the old place (Monument Park, the facade, the frieze and the Great Hall). Now to make some new history …
You can find the full list here.
I haven’t been to all 30 but I would put Fenway at #1, I still have a man-crush on Wrigley, Oriole Park is great, liked Dodger, and I think Philly is better than Citi. I am not a fan of New Yankee.

Does MLB Interleague Play Really Boost Attendance? – The Daily Fix – WSJ
Here's a good one According to this, interleague play nets each team about 100 tickets sold One hundred
http://blogs.wsj.com/dailyfix/2009/07/08/the-count-does-interleague-play-really-boost-attendance/
My suggestion/compromise. Have one rivalry weekend a year and that's it. If you don't have a rival then you just play whoever (too bad). My friends and I did this in fantasy football for years. Fair? No. Fun? Yes.
So the Mets play the Yankees and Seattle plays the Rockies (too bad.)
Former New York Met Lee Mazzilli Guarantees Happy Ending (link)
See, Lee is a cool guy. I support Jerry but if he unfairly takes a bullet for this mess I will be back on my Lee for manager kick. (To appease loudmouths like me, the next manager after the disaster should be a Met.)

The Idea Of Trading Sheffield (Newsday)
Who would’ve thought….July 8th and we’re all entertaining realistic discussions of dismantling the team.
Unfortunately, trading Sheffield and Livan make lots of sense.
To me, giving Jon Niese 15 starts regardless of what happens makes a lot of sense too.

(Yes I see the Dykstra news…that’s not what I do around these parts. I enjoy being crankypants but I don’t get into the various Shamsky/Dykstra/LoDuca personal life type stuff.)
I want Ollie to either throw a no-hitter or give up 9 in the first inning so we can all just release the pent up frustration. Going 6 and giving up 4 runs is just boring.
