Justin Verlander booed in Citi Field debut


New York Mets right-hander Justin Verlander made his highly anticipated Citi Field debut Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it seems like the Flushing faithful could've waited a little longer for it.

Walking off the mound and into the dugout after allowing six runs through five innings of work - including a pair of homers - Verlander was greeted by boos and other jeers from a visibly upset Mets crowd. He was replaced by Dominic Leone to start the sixth.
