Does Tradition Field still have the same dimensions as Shea Stadium, or have they moved the fences to match the distances at Citi Field?

Francoeur "goes yard," an expression I never use, and yet I just did. It's the fourth inning and the Braves are up 3-2.

One of the practice fields was changed to match CF's dimensions, including the fence heights, but, as stated, Tradition Field has Shea's dimensions.

I think someone asked him. He seems to be taking questions during the game.

Why the reluctance to adjust the field to Citi's dimensions? I can only conclude that they're secretly planning to rebuild Shea Stadium.

And I bet they fail to put a Met HoF in that one too.

Mets win, Francoeur with a 2 run homer, Wagner gets the loss, Green gets the save but gives up 2 in the 9th.

Always good to see Billy Wagner cough one up.
