That was business right there. WOW.

This guy can hit.

Murphspazz. Everybody be calm, man.

The opera isn't over until Colon stings.

Dang, that was a soft little RBI single.

Pulling Young looking like a pretty panicky move.

Maytag: We turn people into appliances... that's not creepy or disturbing at all.

Cespedes indeed has his peds working this series. Perhaps Red Bull New York should offer him a deal.

Freaks behind home plate doing the ol' arm-twirling thing.

Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs ... ask your doctor for more drugs.

A man just threw that pitch.

I think the ghost of Gil Hodges has risen from the grave to walk out to right and pull Rios from the game.

That was surreal. Get your head in the game, Kansas City. Meanwhile, Conforto's homer is still bouncing around the upper deck.

Suck it, anti-Conforto contingent.

A clean first trip through the lineup by Matz is encouraging.

It would mean a lot to me if just once Yoenis Cespedes moved toward first after striking out on a ball in the dirt.

I've long believed the falling beam was Steinbrennerian sabotage, ordered by the boss to improve his bargaining position with the city to milk the taxpayers for a new stadium.

It's the first Mets game ever on Halloween. This season is, in fact, the first time the Mets have ever been active beyond October 27.

For the Jets games, there was a gap in the bleachers behind the centerfield wall where the ambulance was parked. Probably for the best to get that bad boy out of the winter weather. The years were certainly tough enough on it as it was.

RESULT: Harvey had just been drafted and had no professional experience at this stage. At the time there were some concerns about his command but he ironed that out quickly and was dominating the majors within two years. Notice that he moves toward the passive voice when describing the concerns about his command now that his command is pretty well established as indomitable.

If he can do the job I see no reason why he shouldn't have it. That's not quite what I'm asking, though. If your broadcast partners are contracting with a guy, he's not particularly banned. He's indirectly working for you.

Apple-unlove is out there, much as I disagree with it. The pushing the "Big Apple" name back to prominence was of a piece with the "I HEART NY" campaign and the later-blooming re-vitalization of the Mets, the former two designed to restore dignity and celebration to a city and state in New York during the late Beame administration, but hitting full flower (along with the Mets) as the Koch administration became synonymous with the city and its revitalization. It was a good thing for the Mets to grab on to. My Dad was working at the Regency Hotel circa 1981, and he was giving a guest a pep talk, telling the woman how, yes, the city is dangerous, but here's the way to stay safe, and here's a bunch of wonderful things to see and do while you're here, and I'm hoping you have the visit of a lifetime. He gave this pitch at the request of a fellow lobby employee having excused himself from keep-an-eye-on-the-mayor duty, as Mayor Koch was in the lobby after addressing a trade group in one of the ballrooms. Dad had turned that post over to his deputy as he made this pitch to the guest. But the mayor had overheard him, walked over, greeted the guest, and reached into his pocket to pull out a pin, pinning it on my Dad's lapel. It was an apple, not unlike the one that was starting to pop out of top hats at Shea. Koch declared my father an "Official Apple Polisher" � a diplomat for the city. Vive la Pomme! Check out Ron Hodges around the halfway point, taunting the piss out of Tito Landrum after Mookie's walkoff.
