The Padres and the Cardinals played a 3-game series at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu in 1997. The Royals and the Tigers played a game tied in with the College World Series at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha in 2019.
  2. I like that a Black man from Alabama is the hero on a night they're wearing throwback uniforms to the era of segregation.

  5. Alonso the only Mets starter without a hit thus far.
  6. Polar Bear beaned to load the bases for Dom.
  7. I just figured you'd be relieved.

  10. With the Mets playing a Thursday day game under a scorching sun, I'm reminded that it was https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2001/B08090NYN2001.htm20 years ago this week when the Mets Online Fan Forum had its picnic at Shea Stadium on a scorching hot Thursday afternoon.
  11. =kcmets post_id=74197 time=1628780236 user_id=53] Great! Prolly will toss a complete-game one hitter.... (did I just type that?)
  12. He may also have a pro-Sean bias.
  13. Well, the Mets didn't lose tonight...
  14. The hot streak starts tonight.
  15. Walker vs. Wheeler. A classic Goofy short come to life. http://www.howwedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/motormaniaposter.jpg>
  16. I'm thinking 20 years ago the Mets had a hot streak where they went 25-4 starting in mid-August. I can totally see the 2021 team doing something like that. Now it's not the best example of course, because we don't want to replicate the 2001 Mets fizzling out after the hot streak and missing the playoffs and certainly don't want to have another national tragedy in the middle of the hot streak. But I think this year's team is in a better starting position right now where a hot streak can launch them right into a playoff spot, and I also think the players on this year's team are better overall despite their inconsistent performance thus far this season.
  17. https://www.mlb.com/news/why-mets-offense-is-slumpingAn analysis. Probably nothing here that anyone watching hasn't observed already, but interesting to see summed up in one article.

  19. Drafted by the White Sox, but only appearing in MLB games with the Red Sox, Dwayne Hosey is appropriate for hosiery. https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/1996/Pinnacle---Base---Foil/290/Dwayne-Hosey.jpg?id=cdccb626-c1a9-434a-93e6-209a3603d768&size=zoom&side=back>
  20. Amazingly, no one named Ray, or Raymond, has ever played for the Tampa Bay Rays. Toronto has had two Jays - though technically they are both Jaysons (Jayson Nix, Jayson Werth), and that only stupid people spell the name Jayson with a Y. B.J. of the B. Jays https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51c6ibFPtNL._SY445_.jpg>
  21. John Buck(aneer) - Pirates https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3c/fb/ee/3cfbee01441ea4aff04478797b28b77f--pirates-baseball-pittsburgh-pirates.jpg>
