NY Times - There is not much of a precedent, but the Mets do not find Yankee Stadium hospitable. Their first game here last season ended with a dropped pop-up that symbolized both teams� fortunes. The Mets were cursed, the Yankees charmed. The Mets would be delighted if their 4-0 victory Friday night was as prophetic. In extending their winning streak to eight games, the surging Mets stayed as sharp against one of baseball�s best teams as they did against two of their worst.
For some reason, my mind isn't working this morning and I can't figure out how to send a private message. So what the hell. I'll be at the game, and I'm 914-388-0183 if anyone wants to try and track me down.
Looks like Strasburg lived up to the hype. As long as he doesn't follow in the footsteps of Karl Spooner and blow his arm out, or even worse, in the footsteps of JR Richard.
My favorite was the caller who asked the Dog, "How is slugging percentage figured?" "Well, it's....well, .450 is a pretty good slugging percentage." "Does it have something to do with total bases?" "No, nothing to do with total bases."
