Jerry Manuel Likes Citi Field
After last night’s ballgame, and during the postgame show on SNY, Mets manager Jerry Manuel was asked how Citi Field “played”, and whether he thought the expansive park was “fair”.
Jerry’s response:
“I like the park …. I like it …. I like the park … I like the way the park plays … I like the park … I like it …”
Brings back memories of Mikey and Life cereal, doesn’t it?
So, for those trying to decipher the message “between the lines”, it appears that Jerry Manuel likes Citi Field.
Or, perhaps he really likes his job, and knows what to say to retain his paycheck.

The Mets hit about the same HR/game on the road as at Citi. Mets opponents hit about the same HR/game against Met pitching at Citi as at their own home parks.
Its just not the Mets year for their sluggers, what else can be said?
Delgado and Beltran have been out of commission and Wright has been robbed of a lot of Home runs, not just at Citifield, how frustrating, but he is still our top run generator, doing his best.
