Maybe the tone changed because of lack of power last year on the mets side. That being said that I like the idea of moving the fence down personally. But since the mets didnt hit home runs and opponents didnt have a problem with power and the mets pitching hasnt gotten any better, maybe this isnt the best time to be moving the fences down. Who knows what this will mean for the mets. I like the smaller fences cause they were too high to begin with. I look forward to seeing some homeruns being robbed by great defense not over sized fences. Endy Chavez wouldnt have stood a chance agianst the 18 foot wall and that was one of the best met moments of my lifetime despite the games aweful ending.
