If your answer is no, then it's not the Park, it's the Mets. The point is would the Yankees lineup have struggled to hit homeruns at Citi Field like the Mets did.

The Good - It's a new state of the art baseball only facility with exorbitant prices on parking, tickets, food, souvenirs, etc. It is new, at least. 2. The Bad - A hometeam that gets outplayed in its home ballpark. The Mets were out homered, out hustled. and outdone in what should have been their showcase. Case in point, the play of the Bronx Bombers" in the new Yankee Stadium. If this continues the Mets will continue being a second rate team in this city. The Ugly - The 2009 NY Mets in a runaway. They did nothing towards dispelling the agnst of the last two September meltdowns. Yes, there were injuries. How does that ove come poor play, missed bases, dropped fly balls and a popup, failure hitting in the clutch, etc. It brings to mind the words of Casey Stengel, "Can anyone here play this game?" While the "core" is promoted by the organization, waht have they done towards establishing a legacy. The have one but is being know for futility. It's time for re-evaluting players, whether or not the intestinal fortitude exists and, if a potential trade becomes available, why shouldn't the trigger be pulled? It appears as though noothing else could be worse. If nothing is done or accomplished this off season, then say "goodbye" to Omar Minaya and Jery Manuel. A Citi Field Assessment:

The Mets didnt have the players to hit homeruns and get the job done on the field, the field is clearly a pitchers park but i do not think it has anything to do with the power outage on this team..the mets don't have any power in the lineup. If the mets played well this season we would all love the new stadium, but since the performance from the team was poor at best our memories of this stadium are as well I couldnt agree more with your article on citifield.
