Game #66 view

I made my brother get up early [8am] so we could get to the ballpark early. The Mets kept saying to avoid traffic by taking the train/subway to Citi Field [The U.S. Open was being played next door]. I always try to arrive 3 hours before game time to take advantage of the parking perk. Today I miscalculated and we were an hour earlier than normal. That meant more time at McFadden's for a bloody mary.


Always one of the first to park


Skid & brother Dennis

After a bloody mary at McFadden's Dennis and I found a spot to sit at a bar right behind our seats. We had a few beers up to the first inning then took our seats. It again was a very warm day but as yesterday we had shade to sit in and avoid the direct heat.


Across the aisle from us was a family that had homemade signs for each family member that spelled out M-E-T-S. The letters were cut out and attached by scotch tape. In between innings I asked to take a picture of them holding their individual homemade letters. The young lady who I thought had built the 8x10 signs did not look happy, didn't hardly look at me, and ignored my asking if she had made the signs.


Mets stop their five game home losing streak

Bible Verse of the Day

Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Album of the Day

PAT TRAVERS
Putting It Straight

This album was one of my favorite late 1970's releases. A record store clerk sold this to me and said if I didn't like it, he would exchange it for any other album. I never took it back and Pat's music has been in my collection ever since. "Life in London" and "It Ain't What It Seems" are stellar hard rock songs.
