He is one of very players who not only played for both the Mets and the Yankees, but pitched in an LCS for both teams.
I loved watching him blow a 2-run lead to the Dodgers in the 9th inning in Game 4 of the 1988 NLCS.

I'm sure you did. More summer weather today...a cooler weekend and then another warmup next week. I like this pattern heading into autumn.

Great forecast for the coming week. ☀️

 

[Edge]

We actually could use some rain. I think we might get some at some point next week. Not sure how much though.
Guess what? I bought 2026 Yankees tickets for May against the Orioles already. I got them a lot cheaper than I usually buy them for (around same area seats).

 

[milagros317]

I hope the Yankees beat the Orioles in May when you're there. ⚾

The Dodgers will be in Yankee Stadium July 17 to 19, 2026.
The Dodgers will be in CitiField July 24 to 26, 2026.
I haven't decided how many of those games I will attend.

 

[Edge]

You could get into several of those games I bet.

 

[Edge]

Who knows maybe I will see Yankees/Dodgers. I'm trying to get 3 games next year instead of my usual 2.

 

[milagros317]

Yankee Stadium (via the D train) is a much shorter trip than CitiField (via the 1 train followed by the 7 train), so maybe I will go to some of the Yankee games and ignore the Mets.

 

[Edge]

Yankee stadium is simple for me...I drive 2 minutes to the train station in my town and first stop is Yankee Stadium when I get express train on game day. 25 minutes I'm there.

 

[milagros317]

That's almost as short as the subway ride from Columbus Circle. 🚇

 

[Edge]

It's definitely convenient and I'm glad I don't have to drive there and park. Getting out of a stadium after a game is a nightmare.

 

[milagros317]

Besides the traffic jam when the game is over, they overcharge for parking.

 

[Edge]

That and the food that's how they make all that money.

Well, you wouldn't want the $12 beers anyway, but the $8 hot dogs are not a bargain at all.

 

[Edge]

I was curious about the $20 Judge burger...but it sounds really sick and I'm a very picky eater so I'd wind up throwing out half of it.

 

[milagros317]

I would love to try it. I could likely eat all of it.
But I understand that they sell only 99 of them at each game so you need to get there early to get one. 🙁

 

[Edge]

It comes down to the last day of the season...sad but exciting. It's crazy how we were talking about baseball back in February and spring training and we're still going here heading towards October lol.

 

[milagros317]

And right after the World Series, in November, people will talk about who are the prize free agents and what team is going to sign them. 😛

 

[Edge]

Yes, baseball truly is a year-round sport which is great.

 

[milagros317]

I used to ignore the so-called Hot Stove League, but now I follow the baseball news all winter.
