We should just be thankful that this trivia storm was not as devastating as the experts were predicting. The best result from any quiz is that all your answers come out alive even if a little damaged. People, it's just not worth it go out in a quiz like this and foolishly take on the elements just to find out if Wyoming really is one of the answers. We expect Con Edgy will restore answers to these questions as soon as possible. We ask you for your patience.

Mayor Bloomberg in the WFAN booth for post-Irene reasons, talking about going to camp with Warren Spahn's daughter and growing up a fan of Bob Cousy. In other words, he has more relevant things to say than Wayne Hagin.

"You're listening to Yankee baseball on the Home of the Mets -- only because the Mets aren't on and it's an emergency: 66 WFAN." Somehow this will get spun as the MFYs saving New York ten years after they saved them the first time. "Victims of Hurricane Irene found one saving grace in their battery-operated radios: the sound of John Sterling soothing their storm-battered souls with his familiar, triumphant catchphrase 'I SUCK.'" Or something like that.

With Mets off and Newsradio 88 presumably devoted to Irene, WFAN will be airing, if they're not rained out the MFYs versus the Orioles ('FAN and 'CBS being corporate siblings). Sterling, Waldman and all that on the home of the Mets. Feh.

Thought that struck me as Caps struck out Braves was, "Bet we could get a pretty good prospect for this guy by Wednesday." I hope scouts from contending teams waited the full nine before beating it out of town.

Boo-hoo, no off day. How about they take off the last 28 days of October?

And we didn't lose the first game of a homestand for the first time all year.

Capuano 6.0 Thole 1.0 Turner 1.0 Evans 0.5 Tejada 0.5 Duda 0.5 Pagan 0.5

Capuano's Game Score of 96 -- taking into account hits, walks, strikeouts, runs -- best of any Met since David Cone's 19 K slinkoff to end season in 1991, and tied for third-best ever in Mets history. Cone's was 99, Seaver's 1970 1-hitter vs Phil was 97 and Cap is tied with Qualls Game and an overpowering Dick Selma shutout from 1965 for third.

Three wins to get you through any storm. 124: 2006 -- DELGADO, Pujols, DELGADO, Pujols, BELTRAN 125: 2001 -- Schooling Mike Hampton on how to make a graceful return 126: 2005 -- Mike Jacobs, not sent down, can't be stopped Ooh, and three more! 124: 1999 -- McGwire busts Shea lights, Mets break Card hearts 125: 1963 -- The Mets' first pitching phenom and his one win 126: 1962 -- Most Marvelous Coach Ever

Craig Swan must be disgusted his list is being used for such unsavory purposes.

Doc all over ESPN today. Mark Simon asks the real Mets fan questions here.

6:30 tonight, debut of Mets Yearbook: 1981. Don't know if it will be presented in two halves.

Next round of treatment -- the intense kind -- a go. Gary Carter, whose more intense round of chemotherapy had been delayed by a low white-blood-cell count, is now ready to proceed with that treatment to combat malignant brain tumors. His daughter Kimmy Bloemers writes: "Dad went to the doctor yesterday and received news that his white blood count was high enough to start the new stronger chemo! The blood count is still a little low; however, he got the green light to take his first pill last night. He took an anti-nausea pill at 10 p.m. and took his chemo at 10:30 p.m. and then fell right to sleep. We are so happy to report that dad is not sick and he had a good day today. There was some anxiety yesterday not knowing if this 5-day treatment would have terrible reactions. Aside from being tired, dad has no other side effects!!!" Bloemers adds: "Dad will take his second chemo pill tonight and will take his last chemo pill Friday night. This will happen every month for one year. Five pills for one month, Avastin every two weeks and steroids everyday. ... Dad is very strong, determined and focused for our family, his fans, friends and his baseball players. I am so proud of him. He has endured a lot these last three months and without a doubt, the best is yet to come. The more we pray, the more this miracle will happen!"

The night the Nats were SEALs caps might be the night some kid isn't inspired to ask his parents to buy him that Nats cap he hadn't realized he so badly wanted until he saw it on Alex Cora's head. Good job, MLB.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Rather low Metly quotient, though. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to have Seaver, or Strawberry, or Gooden, or Wright, or Mookie? Or any of about two dozen others? Because only so many ex-MLBers (a.k.a. legends) are participating with Pepsi. The only Mets are Piazza, Murray and Henderson. Ballot here.

They talk about the wind at Wrigley, but I've never seen anything blow like the Mets' offense at Citizens Bank.
