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.
