I hate how Pete left it in doubt.

We did it, we got 12 games over!!!

[Lefty Specialist]

Holy shit, something going that far should have a stewardess on it.

[kcmets]

Holy crap! I had to step away from the tube and missed it.



I'm retroactively so happy I could pee!

Thin line between great game and groan game. That dog day game will hunt.

Seven-game lead. Gotta defend it for the next six to eight or more weeks. Big win in that you need to win every game when your starter isn't a question mark. Also every win is big at this level (something Buck would probably say).

Thinking I may unplug from social media this afternoon and watch the replay tonight instead. Too much going on at work and then after work today to give this game proper focus.

It was a double-scream day for me "OH-NO!!!" and "YES!!!"



A great series win over the headhunters. F them, their "fundies" and their fans.

[Lefty Specialist]

5 of 7 from the Cards. That'll play.

that thing was fucking GONE. I immediately thought of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUA6HV3jX4ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUA6HV3jX4o

That clip was Fran-tastic.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I was there.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I was at that game too. It was one of those hot summer nights that was incredibly humid, but didn't rain.

I thought I was there, but I think I might be conflating it with another game where Vaughn homered in the actual rain?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Maybe it did rain? The reason I remember the weather that day was because we had work softball game that evening under dark skies and intense heat and humidity but we got the game off. I was drenched ... with sweat, as I hustled from the game downtown to Big Shea

[Frayed Knot]

There was also a Big Mo nodoubtaboutit HR against Fat Boy Wells and the Yanx, I think on a Sunday night. Prolly not as far as this one but gone-off-the-bat just the same.

[Edgy MD]

It hurts to be the one called "Fat Boy" in a matchup with Mo Vaughn.

[Edgy MD]

Whatever inside knowledge Mo had on Wells, it appears to have been a family secret.

Weird and unexpected fact:



Brendan Donovan of the Cardinals is the first person named Donovan to be stored in the Ultimate Mets Database.



That means that no Mets player, coach, farmhand, or opponent ever had the last name of "Donovan". I had thought that it was a pretty common name, but perhaps not!



It took 60 years for the Mets to encounter only one Donovan. It took a Showtime series only one episode to encounter seven of them!
