My man Gary G’s magic has worn off.
And yet, Gil’s teams somehow keep on winning.
This was another three hour dirge of a game with a typical awful Gil Hodges lineup – I mean why would you start Art Shamsky batting g.338 when you can play Ron Swoboda?
Of course the Cubs keep winning so the Mets can win all they want, they make up zero ground. 6.5 back.
Meanwhile, the Braves are imposters. Here come our old friends the Giants, now in a flat footed tie out west. Can we trade them straight up and let the Mets have San Francisco?
