Great Day for New York Baseball October 8, 2006 3 comments
From a Met fan point of view anyway, Yankee fans? Not so good, But hey, there’s a new team in town.
Mets won game three last night in LA to complete their sweep of the National League Division Series against the Wild Card winning Dodgers. I honestly thought the crowd would contain more Met fans than it actually did, considering the amount of transplants in Tinseltown. We were engulfed in an intense current of electricity in a sea of blue, which went off when LA took their first & only lead in the bottom of the fifth. Too little too late as the Mets countered with a three run sixth and never lost the lead again.
Oct 8, NY Post cover & Sunday Sports cover. I love the ad for a free Spider Man comic, you need something to draw in the literary readership.
There’s a lemon party behind the mound!

I’m still depressed. I pray the Yanks hold onto Torre. I’ve been watching ESPN all morning just to catch an update. UGH!

How were the Dodger fans? Any fights break out? The last few times I’ve been there, it’s pretty sketchy.. near-fights, taunting, pelting the opposing fans with food and garbage… So glad they got swept.

They were’nt too bad. While pissing in the trough that substitutes for urinals at Dodger stadium, I did have wet paper towels and an entire roll of wet toilet paper thrown at my head, but like Maddux, the tosses were way off target. For some reason a few Met fans who were a few rows back kept chanting “New York Sucks”, which I thought was quite possibly the worst chant ever. Sure, the Yankees suck, but these are the Mets, STFU already.
In the later innings they played the 1988 clip of Kirk Gibson’s home run a bazillion times in hopes of sparking a rally, so I took to yelling “where’s your Gibson now” but that was really my extent of rubbing it in.
