    The 11-game streak took place over three seasons (and four ballparks) but still.

    I was there as well. My 11-game winning streak came to an end. Quite a bad game.

    I was at today’s game. It was my third game this year and I went 3-0 (all Maclean starts). I also went 3-0 last year and the year before plus the last game I went to in 2023. I have, therefore, a 10 game winning streak.

    I met him and had a pleasant conversation with him. He had written a memoir and found himself outside of my office. He hung around with me and several others for a bit. It was a long time ago and I can’t recall anything in particular but that he was very nice.

    I'll be at that Thursday afternoon game.

    postponed. Doublebill tomorrow.

    Fourth of July at Dodger Stadium also appealing to me. I go to Cleveland in a couple of weeks for this year's new home-team rival.

    I was working at a law firm in San Francisco in the early ‘80’s. I remember a young woman who worked there was having an affair with Phil Garner and how she was excited the Pirates were coming to SF. They would go off on his motorcycle.

    I’d vote for #3 as well.

    The first professional baseball game I attended was played on August 16, 1964 in Shea Stadium's first season. Galen Cisco (not a Hall of Famer), in a season he went 6-19, pitched a complete game as the Mets win 12-4. Leadoff hitter Bobby Klaus (also not a Hall-of-Famer) who had a career .200 average got four hits. The only Hall-of-Famer to play in that game was Dick Allen (back when he was known as Richie Allen). He hit his 20th homer of that season in the 4th inning. That game made me a Mets fan.

    I was at that game that Marshmallow attended. My first time in Detroit. Not totally surrounded by Met fans but there were some - have to say that the Tiger fans were really nice people as well.

    Pretty much totally agree. I saw it before Rob Reiner’s death so there wasn’t that queasiness. A few of the “what they’ve been up to inbetween” bits worked but overall nothing special. Also agree re sequels: I never watch ‘em plus the kind of movies that are naturals for sequels I rarely see in the first place.

    HOFer Gil Hodges.

    Gary Sheffield.

    I was at today's game with several Met fans in the row behind me. Staying at a hotel a short walk from the ballpark and seeing lots of Met gear. Fun time but worrisome at so many points.

    Glad to see this. I have a goal of seeing all teams play a home game. I'm more than halfway there and will gain one this Labor Day, seeing the Mets play the Tigers. Next year, my guess is either the Guardians or the Brewers, timing-wise. We'll see.

    I agree with Edgy that, along with Stop Making Sense, this is the greatest music concert film. I saw The Band the year before The Last Waltz (where they opened for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). I was living in the Bay Area and knew about the upcoming Last Waltz and would've liked to go but I was in high school and it was Thanksgiving so I couldn't. One of my friends did go, however, and stayed for the whole shebang til 4am or thereabouts, Also, I read Robbie Robertson's memoir, Testimony earlier this year. It's pretty great for what it is and has much on The Last Waltz.

    The Giants have had a bunch of Met players but it feels like a long time since we've done anything with them directly (maybe Angel Pagan).
  23. cal sharpie
    Postponed. Doubleheader tomorrow.
  24. cal sharpie
    Former Met Miguel Cairo gets the job.

    It's probably Young that gets sent down once Winker is back. Acuna might get sent down when Vientos is back.
