Someone's tired, as we near Times Square on the No. 7 train, or the John Rocker Express. We split up at Times Square, where Steve and Keri drive back to NJ, and I continued back to Brooklyn on the subway.
The happy recap. Mets win 7-5, and the big ballpark empties out. Now for the long ride home on the John Rocker Express ( 7 train ) , to Times Square, Q to DeKalb, and the R to Bay Ridge Avenue.
"Enter Sandman" comes on, and Billy Wagner comes in for the top of the ninth. The fans are fired up.
Wagner is a bit like John Wetteland used to be: he gets the job done but its always an adventure. He gave up a run to make it 7-5 but that was it.
Went out to the big Shea Thursday night with Brendan, Steve and Keri.
It's sad to think that Shea Stadium will not be around a few years from now. It doesn't have the history that Yankee Stadium does, but it has seen some of NYC's best baseball ( and football ) memories. I saw my first game here. I will miss the place.
When this block was redone ,they made sure to preserve these tracks--but unfortunately they will not be used by streecars...
