It was "Dead Flowers", for what it's worth.

And on the eve of Kentucky Derby Day too ... nice choice!

Aw, I went to bed right before the game got good.

Great fun playing music with Seawolf.  Youse CPF'ers gotta make your way up to Syracuse/Rochester and come see us at our respective venues

Also, Alvarez is chasing the Mets' season GiDP record which I have to assume belongs to Gary Carter.

Mike Piazza had 27 GIDPs in 1999 which is the franchise record

Well, that's what I get for leaving my lane.

I was actually talking to a guy about this very topic on Tuesday. He mentioned there was a Met I'd totally forgotten, Ryan McGwire, who wore 40 in 2000. Late season guy up for an injury or something

And let us not overlook the work of the pen in this game

Brazoban going 1-2-3 in the 6th w/game tied [K, PO, GO]

Raley in the 7th, now with a one run lead [GO, K, GO] 

Weaver in the 8th [K, K, GO]

Williams in the 9th [K, K, GO]

So with no margin for error that's twelve up, twelve down, and not a single ball leaving the infield.

It's as if our bullpen was facing the Mets line up.
