Sorry so late. I almost forgot too. Thought it proper if Ashie took us out but I guess a wins a win.

Cause I spilled it.

179 Innings! Yikes. 14 wins yea but I forgot he had 11 losses. 200 in relief that next year?! What a freak.

Frank Lary was on a SI cover?

This might be the light pole beyond the fence at Butterball Field, known for the Sadecki Spot ,L.Millers Cage, and site of Stengels bench. I can only look in from the road and there are no others directly around the area. I can see the water tower beyond to the left, out of frame. I'll post more pics tomorrow.

Wow,kool. Whats the name of the freakin fountain already?

I've been doing some research and I have to say: I think the cage might be back there behind the Hick. Look below at the GreyGrote photo. That small fence is up a bit from where the cage starts. So the cage very well could be there at that time. Inconclusive. Now these photos look like they were taken a few minutes apart and in the fake one you can see a worker putting the finishing touches on The Cage. I move the cage be known forever more as L. Miller Cage. *BANGS GAVEL

Those trees in rows are a good sign. I've seen them in many photos from the area and I wasn't sure in which direction they were running. Gah, I can't walk out on the field. I don't think I can. I'll have to walk around the block. This is crazy kool that we have the technology to do this. Even tho according to the NY Worlds Fair we should have been be doing this shit by 1985.

I was looking around the area by eye, and its hard cause you have to get down low to see if there are baseball fields. So tonight I went to google map and asked for directions from where I live to Stengel-Huggins Field. It took me right there.

Kool and pretty damn amazin'! I found the field and I'm now on ground level walking and looking around the area. There is only one field there now. The clubhouse is there. Water tower is still there. The water and trees in their right positions. No cage and Butterball Field is the one that didn't make the cut I'll take some screen shots and try to post them before I crash tonight.

I'll tell you one thing, from what I see at Wiki that field has had more history that almost every MLB stadium standing today.

An invite would be fine but I don't like this talk about him being a regular in the rotation next season. No reason not to have him in the mix, unless he opts for more money elsewhere. If he manages to win a spot in the 2014 Mets rotation, it will be because he's one of their five best options. They need to get a lot of innings from a lot of guys, so if Matsuzaka can be one of them, then good for him! It all hinges on Harvey, to me. No disrespect to Mr. Matsuzaka but I hope he's not a top five'r.

Well, maybe a little obstructed. Casey was in the way. Lil bit. I had a dream the other night and in it Casey came to me and asked why am I looking at so many pictures of him. I told him I was a fan and wanted to know more about him. He said "What do ya mean kid, I've been dead a hundred years." I said "No Casey, you will live on forever through pictures like these and through footage and articles and quotes. You are like the grandfather of the Mets." He said,"Really..." "Lemme tell you something about those Mets. I loved em. They were my Amazin' Metsies. Amazin,amazin,amazin. I say that four times cause I managed them four years. Three and a half years, actually, and I never had a bench. Mr.Weiss had a bench, ya know, down in the spring camp. I wanted a bench and I told him and Weissy says " No, they will always think of you as a Yankee manager Casey. Not a Met manager. You don't want them to remember you for that. This team is going to be a losing team until we get up some steam. You just get them out of the starting gate. The fans will come out to see you, the great Yankee skipper Casey Stengel." I waited for Casey to take a breath. He didn't. "So I says I don't want anything to do with them bum Yankees. They put me out to pasture. Said I'm too old to be on the field! I'll show 'em. Gimme a bench." And George says "No. Years from now people will forget all about these lowly Met years. You'll be remembered for the Yankees. Your name will be on a Hall Of Fame plaque that says Yankee." and I says "George, thats all well and good, and I hope that comes to be, I'm proud of those years, but right now I'm here and I'm not too old to give these people what they want, and that is National League baseball! They don't want me. I'm a side show. So I'm gonna put on a great show and make this team mine. I still have some good years left.Gimme that bench over there." and Wiessy says "You don't need a bench Casey. You got an office." and I says " Mr. Wiess, without a bench I can't manage a team." And I was right. I had a team full of bench players and no bench." Casey peruses the deed to his bench.

Whew, good game. Matz impressed. We won a game on a little dribbler, a trickler thru the hole. 1-0. Both teams, only 4 hits. You can start the next one if you want Ashie. Take us out of the season in style.

Quess it was. He did a strange toe tap thing there, no pause. He's doing fine now. Working, but fine. 2 out, 2 strikes.

Hawks mechanics are off. Or maybe that was an extreme quick pitch.

So because of the way the game is played today our best bat can't pinch hit in games? This is just for now, right? Cuzza the injury and season ending, right? On edit: this game don't mean nothing but it is just a one run lead.

I hope the pitcher doesn't bother Recker while he's taking a walk around the plate. He does and Reckers looking good walking to first.

I love the 70's organ porn music they used in those old baseball clips.
