How Beltran's feeling; Citi Field All Star Game

Carlos Beltran made his first start in center field today, staying in the game only 4 innings beofre leaving due to tiredness.

Adam Rubin relays a quote from Beltran:
"I got tired a little bit. It’s still the same. The left side is weaker than the right side. … I’m not ready to play nine innings right now. This is something that’s not going to be gone in one day. It’s going to take time."
He still has over 2 weeks to get ready to play in a full game, but at least he got in a few innings. Just take your time, Beltran, take you time.

Citi Field has also been tagged as the possible site of the 2013 All Star Game.

Again, from Rubin:
“I’m assured by the commissioner that he will make an announcement shortly on a year when we will get an All-Star Game,” chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon told ESPN 1050-AM. “It will be out a few years but I think it will be something that everyone can look forward to.”
Awesome. But lets just get through this last year at Shea first.

  1. Free pizza for everyone in America if someone hits in to a 4-6-3 double play from the left side of the plate in the 3rd inning with the wind blowing north upwards of 3 miles per hour.

  2. I can't think of anything clever, like Tacoby Bellsbury.
