Hey, remember back in the beginning of June when the Phillies took 2 out of 3 at Citi Field? I think we all do considering it was the last time the Phillies actually won a series up until they beat the Blue Jays on consecutive days this weekend .
Oh, and you also might recall how Chase Utley hit three dingers in Citi Field that series; all of which landed over the fence in that little crevice in right field next to the oddly-shaped “Mo’s Zone”:
Well it must have made quite the impression on the Mets broadcasting team because Friday night, Yankees center fielder Brett Gardner hit a homer in that exact spot and the play-by-play guy for SNY, Gary Cohen, made this call:
“Gardner lifts one down the right field line back towards Utley’s corner near the wall… it’s outta here!”
I have a feeling that one’s gonna stick for a while. Thanks, Mets announcers!
You can watch the clip for yourself HERE.
(Thanks to The Fightins reader and fellow Mets hater Jim for the tip)

I hope Utley hits about 10 more down there this year.
June 29th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
that is unspeakably awesome.
June 29th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
In before somebody starts a blog called “Utley’s Corner.”
June 29th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Fenway has the Pesky Pole… Citi Field as UTLEY’s CORNER! That’s aweesome.
June 29th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Thanks for the idea Tug.
I just grabbed it.
Now to just come up with something to put up there.

Now that Pat’s gone, I guess Utley has taken his place as our Met Killer.
June 29th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
yeah, last weekend my nephew in NY said the Pepsi Porch belongs to Chase Utley
June 29th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
I updated the Citi Field wikipage.

everytime the phils are in town, they should let everyone in that corner bring their favorite adopoted pet
June 29th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
HAHA nicely done soren
June 29th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
along with the rumor that 3 Phils jerseys are buried in the stadium, this must kill Mets fans.
June 29th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I don’t hear them saying “Utley”
I keep hearing “Buckler’s Corner”
But I don’t know who Buckler could be.
June 29th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
@ ill:
According to Mike Silva at this NY Blog, it’s Utley’s Corner. He also has a radio show, so it doesn’t seem to be just a fan blog.

i just love that they can’t get the phillies off their minds already because we win. now anytime a ball is hit in that area they have to be reminded of our all star second baseman
June 29th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
That spot in shallow right field is called “Castillo’s Folly”
June 29th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
too bad that was in Yankee Stadium, Tug. But a good thought.
June 29th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Whatevs
June 29th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
lol @ tug, nice one
June 29th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Leave to the Mets to build a ballpark that is more tailored to their arch rival than it is to their own team.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
@TH, I laughed my ass off at that one. That was great.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
@Fink, seriously… that article really shows it, truly hilarious.
June 29th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
i like how the broadcaster continued to say how its the best part of the park to hit a HR and how the opposition has used that part of the park better than the Mets have. which really does make it “Utley’s Corner”
June 29th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
guys – how long until there’s an “utley’s corner” shirt?
June 29th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
guys- how long unti we get a freakin’ “recap” of yesterday’s game?
June 29th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
thats the only thing that makes that stadium cool…..just like the rest of the place it has absolutely nothing to do with the mets!!!!!
June 29th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
lol i have been to citi field and i can confirm that it is truly awful for a new ballpark
June 29th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
One more reason Mets fans suck- no found hate page for that announcer yet.
June 30th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Just read this, again, in the Inquirer’s sports page, under that Bozo Gonzo’s section. They really know how to fill up a newspaper, using a section of this posting, with two comments. They do reference where they got the original material, but sadly, will.H ’s adopt a pet comment and Gonzo (?! is that twerp on this page? Or is he just using this quote because it’s the same name…?) quote about the 3 buried jersey’s made it in without mention of author-only “fan comment”
June 30th, 2009 at 9:38 am
“guys – how long until there’s an “utley’s corner” shirt?”
This. Dear, god, this!
June 30th, 2009 at 11:11 am

August 22nd, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Yep.
