I was at Citi Field with my boys today... watching another underrated masterpiece by RA Dickey. He is removed in the 9th after giving up his first run. Down 3-1 with a runner on 2nd, Jason Kubel (off of Byrdak) and Miguel Montero (off of Francisco)hit what would have been HRs in probably any other ball park, except the wind was blowing in, and it was Citi Field. Frank Francisco is awful and would be on the hot seat, if there was a guy to replace him. What a crazy year.

Don Mattingly agrees. Hello Kenley. 8-)
