I’m exhausted from doing the Snoopy Dance over the Yankees beating the Mets. But I do have a few comments on the game last night.
* I thought that ball Alex Rodriguez hit last night was one of the hardest-hit he had had all season long. Yet, in Citi Field, what should have been a homer became a double, thanks to that 16-feet fence in left field. No wonder David Wright and Jason Bay don’t hit the home runs they once did. Cifi Field really needs to change the dimensions.
* As Squawker Jon noted when he was on the radio this morning, Jose Reyes’ game is perfectly suited for Citi Field. A-Rod said that Reyes was the “world’s greatest player,” something that caused a little bit of controversy. But I noted to Squawker Jon that it’s too bad Fred Wilpon doesn’t share Alex’s sentiments!
* I hope Ivan Nova gets to stay in the Yankees’ rotation, even with Bartolo Colon and Phil Hughes coming back. He’s earned the spot, and has really grown as a pitcher this year.
* I know Keith Hernandez is the Mets’ Derek Jeter, the untouchable hero, but I was really ticked off over his offensive “where’s the purse?” comment last night? It’s 2011. Can Hernandez find a way to make a point without ultimately denigrating women? Of, course, he’ll get away with it, because he’s Keith Hernandez, but it’s still annoying.
