Dear reader, I am the one who gave Dave some grief over the reaction.<BR/><BR/>Of course the job of the Mets was to get him out and they did that. But why not acknowledge the feat? Yes, a long way from the record, but a considerable streak nonetheless. <BR/><BR/>When Garber struck out Rose to end his streak, I don't recall the Atlanta fans booing Rose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-1155209072991872992006-08-10T07:24:00.000-04:002006-08-10T07:24:00.000-04:00I was pulling for Chase to get hits, but not if th...I was pulling for Chase to get hits, but not if they kept the Mets from winning. As for the Rockette and his attempt to get 300 at Comerica, I was at home, hoping and praying that the Tigers would win. Anything that prolongs Yankee agony is a good thing in my book. <BR/><BR/>PS -- I was at Seaver's 300th victory up at the Bedpan. Seeing all those Mets fans chanting his name and cheering whenever the Mets scored was a beautiful thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-1155157046661351732006-08-09T16:57:00.000-04:002006-08-09T16:57:00.000-04:00I was pulling for the guy too.But I would have boo...I was pulling for the guy too.<BR/><BR/>But I would have booed him if I had been at the games.<BR/><BR/>it's how it works. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
