    GAME 9

    GAME 9 – April 14, 2024
    His number now gleams above the park,
    adorning a jersey no more. 
    Doc’s happy return seemed to
    inspire pitchers du jour. 
    Today’s K Korner
    totaled fourteen. 
    Fine pitching
    ruled the
    day.
  • GAME 8

    GAME 8

    Pete Alonzo’s sixth-inning home run:
    his second of the game.
    GAME 8 – April 13, 2024

    Hot Mets bats meet K.C. inferno.
    Marte errs, Nimmo helps a ball
    scale outfield wall: all costly.
    Seats near field afforded
    view of Alonzo
    crossing the plate:
    he homers
    not once.
    Twice!

  • GAME 7

    GAME 7

    Brett Baty’s two-run double in the fifth inning.
    GAME 7 – April 12, 2024

    Resuscitated on the road, the
    offense returned home with the team.
    Baty’s bat and defense proved
    especiallly welcome.
    An uplifting sight:
    his confidence,
    new-found, as
    was his
    smile.

    Section 318 during Game 2
    GAME 6 – April 4, 2024

    Fourteen scoreless innings and cold temps
    meant even fewer fans in the
    stands for the second game of
    the doubleheader, but
    those that remained were
    rewarded with
    a feel-good
    walkoff
    win.

    GAME 5

    GAME 5 – April 4, 2024

    Tahlequah native Houser did my
    hometown proud in his Mets debut.
    The Mets scored three, Detroit tied
    in the eighth, another
    Mets loss in extras.
    Record now stands
    at Oh-and-
    five. They’re
    sad.

    GAME 4 – April 1, 2024

    Gastronome Canha returned to cheers.
    Starter Manaea’s grand outing
    went for naught. Mets were shut out.
    First game at night featured
    splendid light display.
    But ‘twas a loss
    at the end
    of the
    day.

    GAME 3

    GAME 3 – March 31, 2024

    The hot cocoa machine had been fixed:
    one win. A paucity of hits
    mirrored an apparent dearth
    of shrewd ideas for
    between-innings games:
    blind-folded fans
    name cheeses
    by their
    smell?!

    Looking for the good in a dispiriting day and series with the Brewers, upon exiting the ballpark, we reflected on great Mets pitching moments in history that had happened here.

    We also reminded ourselves that at least the hot chocolate maker in the Piazza Club had worked today.

    GAME 2 – March 30, 2024

    Alvarez, Alonzo, and Baty
    go long and make it a game, and
    Dìaz returns with brass band.
    Fans embolden Hoskins.

    GAME 1

    Opening Day 2024
    Game 1 – March 29, 2024

    Canada Goose shields from cold and wind.
    Bud and others are remembered.
    Rhys returns and trouble brews.
    Benches, bullpens empty.
    A long ball that clanked
    off of the wall,
    but it was
    only
    one.
