Link said:**** that, I agree they need a new stadium with a roof, but moving it to central Miami would probably cut down on attendance. Right now, the stadium is right off the highway and pretty much right on the Broward and Dade county line. It's extremely accessable to everyone.
Courtney Knight, 26, who witnessed the alleged attack, said in an interview today that Myers was out of control.
"It was disgusting," Knight said. "He was dragging her by the hair and slapping her across the face. She was yelling, 'I'm not going to let you do this to me anymore.' "
Knight said the 6-foot-4 ballplayer dwarfs his wife, who she estimated to be 5 foot 2 and 100 pounds.
"She's a real small girl," Knight said. "It was awful."
Myers allegedly told Knight and her friends to leave and resisted when they tried to pull him off of his wife, prompting Knight to call police.
She said Myers was undeterred by the presence of her group of friends.
"He had her on the ground. He was trying to get her to go, and she was resisting," Knight said. "She curled up and sat on the ground. He was pulling her, her shirt up was around her neck....He could have cared less that we were there."
Knight said the player appeared to be fighting with his wife because he wanted to return to their hotel and she did not.
Myers is slated to pitch against Curt Schilling at Fenway Park tomorrow. A Phillies spokesman did not return calls seeking comment.
The police report says that officers found Wickman crying and with swelling on the left side of her face. The victim bailed Myers out, posting $200 in bail at the South End police station early this morning, Procopio said.

Moving the stadium into the heart of Miami would all but guarantee that no one from Broward or Palm Beach counties would even bother. The traffic alone is enough of a deterrence, not to mention that Miami proper is pretty scummy. Plus there's the fact that absolutely nothing down there is in English anymore. I know I certainly wouldn't bother going to any games.

LJ11 said:Interesting stat for all you Mets fans concerned about Wagner. I got this stat from Mike Francesa's radio show.
When LoDuca catches Wagner: He has given up 2 ER, 11 hits, 4 walks, and 1 Blown Save in 27 or so innings
When Castro catches Wagner: 11 ER, 3 Blown Saves (Not including the Yankee disaster). All this accomplished in only 6 innings.
Willie keep Ramon away from Billy.
