I sang your first sentence to the tune of...well, you can guess this one. "I'm Off To See The Wizard."
ReplyDeleteDrive safely, have fun, and we'll read about it soon. No precip. until after midnight. Peter
Jere, you must have gotten home late last night. After all, hit #1 didn't come until, courtesy of JD, a single found its way past the Mariner second baseman. I hope your trip to and fro were safe.
ReplyDeleteCy mentioned in her Thursday morning (Wed. night?) post that your face might have been on the Fenway scoreboard. I couldn't resist saying this.....
"Jere might have been shown on the scoreboard? Is it still functioning? Overnight, something might have happened. A shortcircut. maybe the scoreboard recycled and now all it does is display the words..."takecaretakecaretake." I'm sure they'll check it out before game 3 of this deadlocked series."
Jere. All for fun. And I can't wait to see your full-size new camera pics. So welcome home! Peter....And Daisuke would have won facing a pitcher who wasn't super human, at least on that night. But the world was watching! And Hernandez stepped up bigtime. Glad you were there!
And Jere, I came across this on the wires, and this is for your readers, too. Is it real?
ReplyDelete"Ellen Massey always counted being struck by a baseball or a bat at Shea Stadium among the hazards of being a Mets fan, but she never thought a 300-pound man would come crashing down the stands -- and onto her.
That's what the Manhattan resident, 58, said happened on Monday, Opening Day at Shea.
Shortly after the seventh-inning stretch, she said, a man dressed in a green Army-type jacket tumbled from higher seats and onto her back, knocking the wind out of her and, ultimately, causing serious injury.
"I only know he came flying," Massey, 58, said Wednesday from her bed in Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx. "I was literally not able to breathe for about half-a-minute or so. The first thing I was aware of was not being able to breathe, and then when I was able to breathe I was aware of the pain in my lower back."
Massey, who is a lawyer, is scheduled for surgery on a vertebra on Friday. After she was injured, she said, she was attended to by two emergency medical technicians who were in the stands watching the game, and then by Shea's own medics, who stabilized her head and neck area and took her to a local hospital."
Peter, and I did link the original article on my blog. At first I laughed, and then I thought, to myself (I'm good at that), that if this real, wow. I hope she's OK. Take care Ellen. From all of us.
Wow, hadn't heard that.
