    If we had D.J. Stewart in the lineup each team would be playing a J.D. and a D.J. Maybe tomorrow.

    Not to get off the Cleon Jones birthday topic, but my first game was August 16, 1964 so Fireworks Night #4 vs. the Marlins this year will be the 60th anniversary of that game (Mets beat the Phillies 12-4).

    Also, our Pitcher of the Month wins no games and gets sent down.

    I was in southwestern Minnesota for the missus' family reunion. I had a flight this morning from Sioux Falls, SD to Chicago O'Hare before transferring to another flight to LaGuardia. We took off from Sioux Falls with the Mets down 3-0. I can't follow the game in-flight. The plane lands just as the top of the 9th ends. While standing in the aisle waiting to deplane I'm following the scary bottom of the 9th. I deplane and am standing just outside the gate when I learn of the dramatic ending. I'm pretty sure I let out some kind of whoop while surrounded by passengers running around O'Hare. Not a piano recital but still… Also, yes, don't swing unless you gotta.

    So if Vientos has a big game tonight and Marte comes off the bereavement list tomorrow, does Vientos still get sent down? If not, who goes? Stewart would get my vote.

    Went with four also. Spalding Gray had a rare film role in it.

    After my phone got stolen in Chile I got a new one which gave me 3 months of Apple TV for free which I activated right before the first Mets game there. I'm good til July 4.

    When I was a boy the Mets used to have "meet-the-players" events. You would get to the game early and were brought into a small room where the player would come in and speak to the kids, take questions and sign pictures. I did it twice in 1966: Ken Boyer (who was my favorite player) and Jerry Grote. My Yankee fan brother brought me and was grumpy about the whole thing but I loved it. I don't have the picture, but I do have the memory -- Jerry was less comfortable than Ken was (Jerry was much younger) but he became a real favorite of mine. RIP.
