By Neil deMause The New York Times' Bats blog worries that "Let's Go Mets!" chants sound weaker in the new, smaller-capacity but physically larger Citi Field. Which will come as some surprise to the Huffington Post's Michael Shapiro, who insists that Citi is intimate like Ebbets Field. (The HuffPost's T...

Hey, Mets fans. The day you've been waiting for is finally here. Citi Field opens today for the rest regular season game in its history. Having seen Citi Field on TV and in photographs, I can tell you that neither compares to seeing the Mets' new 42,000-seat stadium in person.

Just a random thought: With Heath Bell returning to New York tonight -- not Shea, of course -- the ex-Met is relishing the idea of getting the first save in Citi Field history, according to Chris Jenkins of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

By metswalkoffs(noreply@blogger.com) But as Robert Teague of the New York Times wrote "Suddenly everything was GO GO GO." I think we'll be hard-pressed to see three home runs hit in the first game at Citi Field let alone the three in a row that these 1962 Mets generated. Frank Thomas, Charlie Neal and Gil Hodges all went deep, part of...

Citi Field will have a large OF area to be patrolled, and if we do see Murphy and Tatis play together very often I will whisper a quiet prayer for Carlos Beltran, who will be forced to cover more ground than any other CF in baseball.
