Gotta laugh at the announced attendance on this one: “Not Given.” And no wonder. Why would anyone want to see Nolan Ryan start a game against Steve Carlton. Baseball needs stars, not one OK pitcher vs a Mets bullpen guy making a spot start (because our manager is insane and refuses to have a 4 man rotation like normal people.)
Ryan was awful. 3 runs in 5 and 2/3. Send him back to the bullpen where he belongs.
Gliding Ed Charles still batting .198. Sad.
In the night-cap….Jack DiLauro started. You know how that went. Mike Torrez started for the Cards. Am I supposed to know who that is?
Mets are 40-34. Gil’s luck is running out.
