My friend Fred is copying my 3-generational "farewell to Shea" trip today as he, his father, and his son, drove from Maryland to see the game. As with "my game", Ollie is pitching. I hope he has as good a time and as good a game.

[Zvon]

Talk of Maine being shut down for the season.


.......Bring it on Asstros.

[Zvon]

Nice 1st for perez.
2 Ks and a foul pop out.

Looks like he has some good zip.
And he's rearing up a little more in his windup than I've seen previously.

[bmfc1]

When you have J. Reyes' speed, and can steal bases the way he can, it's a bad move to take that chance.

[Zvon]

Tsk,tsk.
Stupid move JReyes.

Leads off with a single and tries to tag to second on a average fly out to center by Evans. With Mr Wright up next.

Silly boy.

[Zvon]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I was gonna say the real problem there was Evans' failing to hit it over the fence. Boy is a warning-track-specialist so far!

[bmfc1]

Dear Derek,

No, we will never, ever, go to your website. Not lately, not ever.

Enjoy having October off.

Yours truly,

Mets Fans

[Zvon]

Shoulda,coulda,woulda had 3.

2-0 us after one complete.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Ollie adding that Mussina-bow into his windup now.

[bmfc1]

Way to go Ollie!

[Zvon]

Wow. Wiggy stranded after a lead off double.
Nice job Ollie.

[Guest AG/DC]

Kiner koming.

[Zvon]

Looking forward to hearing Ralph's voice.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Nice touch for Jewish Heritage Day, or whatever they're calling it.



No Mike Jacobs tees, unfortunately.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Why does Wright even bother wearing a glove?

[Guest AG/DC]

Ralph took batting practice in the minors from Burleigh Grimes.

All these years and there's new stuff I'm learning from Ralph.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I'm loving this spit/scuffball discussion between Keith and Ralph. Especially because I'm in the middle of reading the Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers.

(Access to a major university library is something I can get used to.)

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Juuuust foul. Delgado's been absolutely outstanding going to the opposite field, though. Biggest factor in his turnaround?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Ralph isn't here to BS around, listen to him bust out Tatis's career numbers versus Wolf.

[TransMonk]

Nice play, Loretta.

[Guest AG/DC]

Ralph isn't kicking back either. He's keeping his own scorecard.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Smoke 'em inside.

[Guest AG/DC]

How about Ollie blowing the cheese by Wiggers?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

How about Hunter Pence tying it up? Dag

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Good thing I held my tongue about how disappointing of a season Pence is having. That would've been embarrassing.

[TransMonk]

Let's get some more runs, O!

My fault. Stepped away from the monitor.
