Ignorance is bliss
Didn't see Sunday's game at all. Not one pitch. Too much to do around the house and by the time I had a chance to switch on the radio it was 4-0, Houston.
Swept by the Astros to start August. John Maine on the DL. Billy Wagner headed for another MRI, this time for his forearm. More ineptness with runners in scoring position, this time failing TWICE with the bases juiced and one out. Sixteen innings and counting without a run. Robinson Cancel thrown out stealing third with two outs and David Wright at the plate? Robinson Cancel? I know he runs well for a big guy, but come ON, now.
That's a lot of bad news for a Sunday that was otherwise glorious, weather-wise. Oh, almost forgot -- Philly won again.
BTW, Carlos Beltran batting second doesn't seem to have had the effect Jerry Manuel was looking for.
As Bob Seger sang, turn the page. Dan Murphy is up and looks good. Eddie Kunz pitched a scoreless seventh. Plenty of time to get back on track.
If you missed it, here's a great piece in the Times about why the Mets should start having Old-Timers Day again. (Hat tip to my man Vince for sending me the link. Happy birthday, pal.)
Author Brian Biegel says a team spokesman said the Mets did away with Old-Timers Day because it didn't make enough money. Ugh. How great would it be to see Mets Old-Timers like Piazza, Ventura, Alfonzo, Strawberry, Hernandez, Darling, Dykstra, Orosco, Koosman, Seaver, Bruce Boisclair, Doug Flynn, Mazzilli, Swan, et al? It would be awesome.
