Dan just referred to the Yankees as the Mets.

12-2

I was in school that day. But I went to the fifth game in Detroit, which made up for every deficit in my life.

1-2-3 for Paddack

Stanton somehow strikes out.

I don’t think I’ve witnessed a nine run inning in a long time. Maybe never.

Wenceel Pérez grounds into a force out, fielded by second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. Kerry Carpenter scores. Spencer Torkelson out at 2nd. Wenceel Pérez to 1st.

Kerry Carpenter triples (5) on a sharp line drive to left fielder Cody Bellinger. Colt Keith scores. Gleyber Torres scores.

The only thing that makes me feel bad about this is that I love our friend Sue.

Wild pitch by pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. Trey Sweeney scores. Colt Keith to 3rd. Gleyber Torres to 2nd.

Gleyber Torres walks. Dillon Dingler scores. Trey Sweeney to 3rd. Colt Keith to 2nd.

Colt Keith hit by pitch. Parker Meadows scores. Dillon Dingler to 3rd. Trey Sweeney to 2nd

Trey Sweeney singles on a fly ball to left fielder Cody Bellinger, deflected by shortstop Anthony Volpe. Wenceel Pérez scores. Parker Meadows to 3rd. Dillon Dingler to 2nd.

This is not fair. They pull a guy who walks three and allows a single and a double? Brad Ausmus would leave him in.

Dillon Dingler walks. Spencer Torkelson scores. Wenceel Pérez to 3rd. Parker Meadows to 2nd.

Riley Greene hits a ground-rule double (30) on a line drive to right field.

I called the homer first, and I’m working on a 20 MB DSL line in the mountains I rule.

Parker Meadows homers (4) on a fly ball to right center field. Spencer Torkelson scores.

That’s why I brought Sancho Panza with me.

I’m going to be mostly MIA for this upcoming series in New York with the evil empire. I’m going up to the mountains in central Idaho for three or four days for my only time this year. So there will be no celebrations on my part about six runs, but I hope they happen anyway. Will be doing a lot of hiking, hot springs etc. with one of my oldest best friends. Last year there were terrible fires with ash falling out of the sky and an air quality rating of 500+. Looks like this year‘s fires have subsided and there’s even a little rain on the horizon, which hopefully won’t come with lightning. Hope the Tigers somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat in the Bronx. Take care all!

Oh, this is a painful recollection, but it’s true. I remember our teams back then going out on 7-game West Coast trips and returning 1-6 or 2-5.
