Sure was nice of Gil to line up his darling baby Tom Terrific (please, win 6 championships if you wanna use that nickname) so Tommy Boy could pitch against the expansion team again. If Gil let me face the Expos and Padres I’d have 15 wins too.
Tom picked up his 18th win with a sloppy 4 run complete game. I guess Gil wanted to save the pen. Did Shamsky start? Of course not.
In game 2 of the doubleheader, Jim McAndrew let the bullpen have the entire day off.
8800 people attended this game in San Diego. Sure glad we expanded.
Did Shamsky start? Yes! At first base! Art batting a cool .318
The Mets are just 3.5 games out of first pace somehow. I bet The Bumper Sticker Guy is printing up some Seaver stuff now.
This has been an amazon’ run but at some point the math will catch up and you can’t always play the Padres.
