Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Wednesday, August 31. Monday night the Mets kept their fans up late with a thrilling 10-inning win.  Last night it was the Yankees' turn.  Their 5-4 win over the Royals also took 10 innings but ended considerably later than Monday night's game because of a lengthy rain ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Tuesday, August 30. There will be some heavy-eyed workers in New York and Chicago this morning.  (Where's that coffee I wanted?) This is because the Mets took 10 innings and the Cubs took 13 to vanquish their foes. (We're out of coffee? Are you kidding me?) In New York, ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Monday, August 29. Before I talk about any major league goings-on, I'll talk about the team who has returned pride to the Binghamton, New York area.  In days long forgotten, the Yankees  had a minor league team there called the Binghamton Triplets.  The Mets have had their ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Sunday, August 28. In the movie "Spinal Tap," one of the characters said about his sound system "It goes to 11," where on most sound systems the meter stops at 10.  Well, for Gary Sanchez the meter doesn't stop at 11. and in his own way 11 ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Thursday, August 25. For the second time in 3 games, two awful ball clubs have provided exciting, if not artistic games.  The latest was a D-backs 10-9 win over the Braves in 11 innings in Phoenix, following their 9-8 win there over the Braves Monday night. These games ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Wednesday, August 24. In St. Louis and Los Angeles last night, regular August baseball games felt like late September games, if not playoff games.  For the Mets, no Neal Walker? No John Niese after 4 batters? No problem!  The Mets grabbed a 3-0 lead early on a ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Monday, August 22. Last night's game in San Francisco was a throwback game to the great pitching duels  of the 1970's: Seaver vs Marichal or Carlton vs. Bob Gibson.  Both pitchers worked like lightning, and the  game was done in less than two and a half hours, which ...

Hi all.  Here's how I see baseball on this Sunday, August 21. If only the Mets had somebody else who could hit home runs like Yoenis Cespedes does, they might still be in the hunt for a playoff spot.  Cespedes, just off the DL hit a pair of giant home runs as the Mets beat the Giants ...
