Well, that was a little scary.
With the Mets up 6-5 in Toronto, closer Frank Francisco took
the mound in the bottom on the ninth and allowed a walk and a hit. We’ve seen
that kind of thing before.
But what we haven’t seen is FrankX2 bearing down and
striking out the next three batters to give the Mets a much-needed win north of
the border.
Offensively, Mike Baxter was a home run short of a cycle,
and the Monster Known as David Wright had two hits and two RBI, raising his
average to .412.
Speaking of scary, the Philadelphia historic sites are
crawling with both tourists and police. If you start hauling out Alternative
Victory Flags and waving them about, you are likely to get stunned and dirty
looks from one group and, well, a lot worse from the other.
However, Mets fans are bold and proud, even on Philly turf.
I unfurled the flag outside the Liberty Bell Pavilion because, lacking an
accomplice, I needed something on which to hang the flag. This is the rarely
seen side view of the bell.
