Petersen has struggled defensively, but has hit a solid .324. “His power numbers [one homer] are not there yet, but they will come,” said Wilson. “He’s been our most consistent hitter all year.” Caleb Stewart, a left fielder, has hit six homers on the road, but none at home. A good pull hitter, the relatively short left field at Keyspan could have been too much of a tempting target for Stewart so far. NCENTER, JOE HOLDEN, from Wantagh, Long Island, has been a real surprise. Hold- Ien has hit .366 with nine stolen bases. “I can’t get him out of the line-up,” said Wilson. “By baseball numbers, he’s an aver- age runner, but he runs much better than av- erage because he gets good jumps and has base running savvy.” In right has been Jesus Gamero. After hit- ting .323 at Kingsport last year, Gamero has only hit .229. Outfielder Kyle Brown is at .275 and is recovering from a strained Achilles tendon, which has limited his outstanding speed. Another speedy outfielder has been Joel Pacheco, who is at .274 with a team leading 13 stolen bases. With Brown and Pacheco leading the way, the Cyclones are on top of the league in stolen bases with 58. Wilson is pleased with the starting pitch- ing and the base running, but says, the “team has to do better in situational hitting. Getting guys in, getting guys over with less than two out, and bunting. Normally a strong team at home, the Cy- clones were 12-5 on the road in the first half and only 11-10 at home. “A lot of times it’s tougher to play at home,” explained Wilson. “Often they try to do so well to please 8,000 people that they go out of their box to do it.” WT

In addition to publicizing their anti-Ratner letter, Rosenberg FROM GOOGLE, AOL, ASK JEEVES, MSN, LYCOS ETC. said Rooftop Films will continue to reach out to other Brooklyn organizations to try and discourage them from appearing in The Brooklyn Standard. “[Forest City Ratner] continues the fake appearance of support by gathering organizations and running articles about community organizations so that it appears that they cover the neighborhood, and care about the neighborhood, when what they really care about is building their project,” said Rosenberg. Forest City Ratner spokesman Barry Baum, who is also one of two men listed as editors in chief of the Standard, said the publi- cation is a way of providing information about the Atlantic Yards www.AmbassadorYellowPages.com proposal.
