I still kind of like that area of the park. And you walk up the stairs and Boom! Shea Bridge! It was a fun game. And even if you were in those seats, remember how annoying it was that people were constantly streaming past you?
Center Field Camera There was this interesting thing out above the Apple, that seems to report wind speed and direction. Checking wind speed at Citi Field I enjoyed the vantage point from the outfield.

Center Field Camera There was this interesting thing out above the Apple, that seems to report wind speed and direction. Peavy has a no-trade clause and seemed very enthused about the Padres and their surprisingly great start when I caught up with him in the Citi Field visitors' clubhouse. He talked excitedly about the team's resolve to try to "grind it out'' and "empty the tank'' every night, pledges that apparently all the Padres made to each other at a stirring meeting on the eve of the season.
The Padres appear short on talent, but it's easy to believe their attitude is terrific with all-time great personalities Cliff Floyd and Eckstein enhancing the clubhouse atmosphere.
In another part of the clubhouse, new Padres owner Jeff Moorad, referring to Peavy's last start, said he "wouldn't trade those seven innings for anything. In fact, Moorad insisted they aren't trying to trade Peavy and that Peavy is as good as any National League pitcher when he's on, but also said "no player is untouchable. Though he's an Alabama native, Peavy makes his year-round home in San Diego, and folks involved in the winter trade discussion with the Braves say that, ultimately, Peavy's reluctance to go to Atlanta was a factor in that trade falling through.
The Braves were on Peavy's very unofficial winter list of teams he would consider, but the list was nowhere near binding, and when Peavy started to seriously consider Atlanta, staying with the Padres apparently started to look better to him.
In reality, the Cubs may have been the only team Peavy was anxious to join this winter. If he submits a new preference list -- official or otherwise -- anytime soon, it'll likely be a short one, because he may already be on the team he prefers most. Free-agent pitcher Pedro Martinez has fielded calls from several teams in the 10 days since the season began, which is no surprise considering the pitching woes many teams have already experienced. But Martinez remains in Santo Domingo, working out every day and waiting for the right call.
The Dodgers who placed Hiroki Kuroda on the disabled list and Indians who have experienced steep first-week pitching problems would appear to be prime candidates to sign Martinez. There have been no serious talks with the Phillies or Angels to this point, but they are among the contending teams with pitching concerns. But distraction or not, the Yankees are now when Rodriguez doesn't start, compared to when he does, according to Danny Knobler of CBSsports. First off, he loves L. Second, he left Cleveland a long time ago because it couldn't afford him, and that hasn't changed.
Hard to say whether he was worse offensively or defensively for Washington. Reached by phone, Nats president Stan Kasten very colorfully said he felt good about the direction his team was headed going into the season, and isn't about to let one week spoil his optimism.
I am optimistic as well. I don't believe the Nats will go
