Didn’t expect to see a Mets cover this season, especially in the middle of the NBA and NHL playoffs and after a Tiger Woods victory.
Cover on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013: Mets seek casino near Citi Field to offset losses suffered in Madoff scandal
With the NFL season behind us, the clown show moves from the Jets to the Mets.
This should not be the portrait of a man who’s thrown consecutive 1-hitters. Bad use of pie by the Mets.
R.A. Dickey’s last six starts: 6-0, 48.1 IP, 0.18 ERA, 63 Ks vs. 5 BBs, opponents batting .131 and slugging .175, consecutive 1-hitters.
That’s 1988 Hershiser-esque.

R.I.P. Gary Carter, who died earlier today.
When I was 13, I was lucky enough to see his greatest hit live, the single that began the 10th-inning rally against the Red Sox in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

Doctors of Mets catcher and Baseball Hall of Famer Gary Carter are deciding whether or not to give him more cancer treatment after several new tumors were found on his brain. The situation appears to be very grave. I hope the Mets push cancer research throughout the 2012 season with fans in New York and everyone visiting Citi Field. They can help make a huge community impact.

Overhead photo of Citi Field that I made from a plane yesterday. Shot with iPhone 4S.
Strange to see snow on the field. Not strange that it’s empty in October.
This is what a 5-6 pitcher (Danny Herrera) looks like talking to a 6-3 catcher (Ronny Paulino).

Sad MLB news, and we can only hope for the best.
Doctors said Friday that a tumor in Hall of Famer Gary Carter’s brain is likely malignant.
I was lucky enough to be in the stands, as a 13-year-old, when he singled with two outs in the bottom the tenth in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series and ignited perhaps the most famous comeback in baseball history.

I’d never before seen this “from the crowd” video of Carlos Beltran taking strike three to end Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS. “Noooooo!”
Adam Wainwright threw one of the sickest pitches ever in a huge spot, though it’s impossible to see from this clip. The crowd reaction is great, though.
