Enjoyed another GKR evening. A tanned Ron Darling and Gary Cohen were as gracious as ever; Keith, a no show again. Apparently, he skids into the Citi Field parking lot minutes before game time - I can relate to that; so I'll go easy on him. The stadium looked outstanding, adorned with lots of Mets' history, even naming entrances after Casey, Hodges, Seaver, and I'm not sure who else. Obviously, the organization responded to fan feedback. Wish we could say the same for the team they decided to field this year. Anyway, Pelfry pitched well, hit well, and won. But after that -- no joy in Metsville. Finally, they won again when he pitched five days later, helping again with the bat and on the bases. Big Pelf is 2-0 and Mets are 3-7. Ouch. And now, the drumbeat of chatter about Jerry's head on the chopping block reverberates around the league on the blogs, and even on Inside Sports. He needs to stay in his uniform 24-7 since Omar apparently won't fire a guy so attired. I give it another couple of weeks before we start hearing that it's becoming a "distraction, so we had to make a move." Unless, of course, they go on a tear. We shall see. Just another day for us Mets fans. Next game for me at Citi will be May 8th with a college classmate I haven't seen since graduation. Should be fun. Let's Go Mets.
