LOL Mets go for teh dingerz
The Mets announced today that they will reduce the height of Citi Field's center field wall prior to the 2010 season. Ostensibly, the reason for the 16-foot to 8-foot reduction is to help make up for the Mets massive power outage in Citi Field's first season, which saw the team drop from 172 homers in 2008 to just 95 in 2009.

I wonder how many people’s feet are actually 12 inches long.
I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.
I wonder why the nothing in the Imperial units is in multiples of 10!
inch (in) 1⁄12 ft
foot (ft) 12 inches
yard (yd) 3 feet
furlong 220 yards
mile 8 furlongs
league 3 miles
My career path, have you seen it?

Supposedly, dozens are easy to work with once you get used to it… divisible by two, three or four or six. In Europe, before they ripped zero and the decimal point of from the Arabs, most commerce was based on dozens.
Utter frustration and futility.

Those European freaks also had six fingers on each hand.
I don't know about that, to the groin.

That’s just gross.

Yet their numbering system was still base-ten.
Math with Roman numerals must have been a real bitch.

Of course, Mets opponents hit more HR AGAINST Mets pitching at CitiField than on the road…

The walls will be on hydraulic lifters
They will be raised back up when the Mets opponents are at bat.

Batting cage will be erected whenever Perez is pitching.

Wait a minute….
The Mets hit 95 homers last season, by far the fewest in the majors. San Francisco ranked 29th with 122.
The Giants hit 122 HRs?

An 8-foot fence means more chances for the CF to steal a home run. That’s one of the most exciting plays in all of baseball. Good call by the Mets.
Yes, really, I have not updated my blog in a long long time: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball
That's good for GMJ
He earned that horrible contract by robbing that HR in Texas.

The Mets were also last in road HR’s. Are they going to ask the rest of the league to lower their fences too?
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you

The sad part is that if this significantly increases the number of weak home runs the Mets hit, it’ll just fuel the passion of the “move the AT&T RF wall in” contingent.
I don't know about that, to the groin.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.
