Two at Shea

9-6-06 SHORT HILLS: I got to NJ last night in the rain. We lost a red maple with a rotted trunk that went down during Ernesto and have lots of branches scattered around. Most of the other stuff looks OK at first glance.

Today I went to Shea for the day time double-header against the Braves. I took Mid-Town Direct from Millburn to Penn Station and the #2 train to Times Square and the #7 to Shea—travel time 2 hours—in time for a hot dog before the Anthem done very nicely by the cast of Spamalot. The Mets won the first 4-1 and the second 8-0 with lots of good news in both games. Should I post my score card? Nah. Slumping bench players in both games got hits and pitchers all pitched well. Carlos Beltran’s knee is OK, Shawn Green woke up. José olé olé is very exciting. Carlos Delgado hit one out. The reverse trip home was no problem. I read the New Yorker in the morning and the Post in the afternoon.

New Yorker and the Post. That's a great combo! Glad I taught you something this summer.
