Mets v. Yankees Game On Friday, June 26, 2009

"And The Heavens Came Down"  -- I'm not that religious, but the skies in and around CitiField on Friday, June 26, 2009 for the opening of the Mets v. Yankees series seemed to open then rain down with water and real electricity.  Unfortunately, I think the static charges in the sky and around the area effected the Mets players.

(The picture to the right was not re-touched at all).

Yes -- in the 9 to 1 loss to the Yankees, nothing went right.  And that's right from the start.  You could see that Mike Pelfrey's pitching was off.  You could see perhaps the rain delay put a crimp in his pitching delivery.  You could see right from the start that the Mets infield and outfield play was off -- way off.
