The Oys of Summer
A couple of notables after witnessing the Mets' first ever regular season win in Oakland (this was their first ever visit to Oakland aside from the unmentionable 1973 World Series)...
a) You have to wonder about the guy who's selling icies in the first inning, slurpies in the fourth inning, and kool-aid near the end of the game. Does it go the other way for night games in October (or, in San Francisco, July)?
2) In the eighth inning, Yabu bounced a pitch about six feet in front of the plate (no Met would do that). Nevertheless, the radar gun said 81mph. Is that before or after the bounce? (Hey, the hot A's fan sitting in front of me laughed, so I don't care what you think.)
