In Game 1, Gil took the hint. Jerry Koosman. Complete Game. He’s the best pitcher on the Mets, leave him be.
And I love that we figured out NOT to play Gliding Ed Charles. Bobby Pfell is hitting a groovy .289.
The Expos lost their 61st game. In July. Wow. But in Game 2…
Look folks, Nolan Ryan is not a starter. Gil is obsessed with starting 5 guys for some reason, and this costs the Mets tons of games. 6 runs in 3 and a third? Let this guy mop up for Jack DiLauro.
Fortunately for Gil, the Expos are really bad (and have a stupid name) so the bats baled out Noal and Gil. An atrocious three hour 9-7 win. Yuck. That’s not baseball. If baseball wants to grow the game in other country they need to have real baseball, not slow slugfests
Tomorrow is Terrific Day vs. the Cubs. Good luck with that combo Gil.
