Jason Bay will not be the last power hitter broken by this canyon of a stadium.He has

hit 5 balls to LC and RC that would have been out of any other stadium.David went through the same thing last year and thankfully worked through it.So will Jason Bay.In the meantime,his defense,speed and hustle are a welcome addition to this team.

John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.

I fail to understand where the ballpark is the issue

Have you looked at Bay’s splits? He’s hitting really well at Citi, and struggling mightily on the road.

His wOBA at Home is .402 vs .313 on the road.

well putnan prince is insane so I wouldn't put much stalk

but a lot of teams players experience after effects of their parks on the road. They tailor their swings to produce at the ball park they play 81 games a year at and practice at, and when that stadium is drastically different from most away stadiums it carries over and effects them.

I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson

Well you know

Jason Bay is being paid to drive in runs. At least that’s what Evans Roberts was spouting on about this past Monday.

I guess I listen to WFAN for the same reasons I listen to the Savage Nation—non-stop disbelief of parroting faulty logic with some laughs, guffaws and chortles mixed in.

He was a boy of soft demeanor
And he loved his caburetor cleaner
