Pete Alonso Homered as the Orioles Beat the Mets 7-1

Most Met fans were dismayed by the Mets management not re-signing Pete Alonso.  He returned to Citi Field this week for a three-game series with Orioles and the Mets.  Pete hit a solo home run in the first inning last night. The Mets starting pitcher Xzavion Curry give up 4 home runs and 6 runs in 3 innings as the Mets lost their fourth straight game.

Box Score

I Pre-Ordered Bob Dylan's 39 CD Boxed Set From Rolling Thunder Revue Tour of 1976

 

I'm crazy for doing this, but I may as well spend my money.  I can't take it with me when I pass away which hopefully will be many years from now.  I should do my best to try to enjoy myself.  Likely I will listen to one CD a week for 9 months.  I already own the much smaller boxed set from the 1975 leg of the tour.

I found this version of Yellow Submarine with John Lennon on lead vocal on YouTube.  I have a talent for finding things accidentally.  It is not AI generated.

Ignoring Chats from Telegram

 

Telegram is a cloud-based mobile and desktop messaging app with a focus on security and speed.  Over the past week I have received 17 chat requests from this app and I ignored all of them.  Some of the opening lines were:

• Hey, what's new
• This is me, Lily. May I know your name
• I am Greta, nice to meet you.
• Hello
• Can I steal a tiny moment?

I looked at a few photos they sent.  Most of them were young Asian women.  I assume most of them are looking for dates.  Some of them may lead to romance scams.  I just ignore all of them.

The Stupidest Post I Have Ever Read on the Internet

 

At last night's Subway Series game at Yankee Stadium a pro-Palestinian protester at 9:11 PM ran on the field with a Palestinian flag.  The police promptly tackled him and escorted off the field. The fans yelled out "USA"  He will likely face several criminal charges.

This morning a well-known radio personality on a major AM station posted this on X:

The difference between the Yankees and Mets was evident last night and it had nothing to do with the final score. If that Pro Palestine clown would have run on the field at Citi  Field instead of Yankee Stadium

Mr. and Mrs. Met would have hugged him!!!!!!

If this had happened at Citi Field, the police would have done the same thing and the Met fans would have yelled out "USA" as well.

I have never listened to this guy in all the years I have been a fan of radio.  In any event I don't listen to political talk radio.

That Was Some Game Last Night as the Mets Beat the Marlins 15-14

 

I watched most of the game on TV since it was in Miami.  The Mets coasted to an 8-0 lead, but the Marlins tied it up.  The Mets took a 14-8 lead and still lead 15-11 going into the bottom of the ninth inning.  The Marlins scored 3 runs to make the score 15-14.  They had the tieing run on second and the potential  the winning run on first, but Tobias Myers got the last two outs for the save.

The Mets scored 6 runs in 2nd and 7th innings.  Christopher Morel came in the game in the second inning as a pinch runner for Bret Baty.  He hit a single, double and home run and would have been the first player to hit for the cycle who did not start the game if he hit a triple in his last at bat in the 8th inning.  He struck out.
