Well, thats the point right? To keep the look pretty much identical to the old one.
Question though, are they taking down the old building and leaving the field and monument park as is for tourism? (This is what I remember hearing some-time ago, just refreshing my memory) |
I think that is boring. |

| the yankees plan was similar to the plan the red sox owners (the yawkey family I think owned at that time) had in the late 1990s....preserve the original field and build a new ballpark that's an improved version of the original next door |

two things currently happening that are not often seen at the same time:
Mets in first place in the NL East
Yankees in last place in the AL East |

| Another thing we haven't seen in a while - at 6-1, Mets with the best record in the majors! |

I'm not surprised... because it is only the first week! The Phillies are 1 - 6, which puts them in last place in the East. And I'm not surprised... because it is only the first week! Talk to me in a month about records and what not. Right now, it means nothing to me. I mean... Ichiro is batting less than .200. You think he'll keep that up all year? Doubt it.
The Mets starting pitching IS NOT as good as it has been. Every starter has gone 6+ innings so far. Which has enabled Willie to just go Heilman > Sanchez > Wagner. |

It also helped the Mets that beginning of their schedule was rather weak, with the Nats, then Marlins (with at least 11 rookies), then Nats again
Their first real test will be next week, against the Braves |

Youre stuck in the 90's man, the Braves arent as big a threat as they used to be, the hitting is still pretty decent, but the pitching is no where near what it was. |
