Down 3-1, who cares? What a great season. Time to come out and celebrate the fun times. A couple other teachers went to the game. I took the train with Jessica who was meeting her husband and his brothers. Another teacher Jesse was on the scoreboard later. She told me she was doing her Bat Mitzvah dance moves with her sister. Perfect!

Pregame chatbox. A-rod, Big Papi, Jeter. I sent this picture to my kids and Otis inquired if it was intentional that Jeter's face was blocked. Not quite but I love it! Matt noticed that during the National Anthem, A-Rod was checking his phone, Ortiz had his hand over his heart, and Jeter stood ramrod straight like the robot he is. 
Oh yeah! Btw, their version of the National Anthem might just be the second best one I've ever heard after the obvious choice. 
Harvey was not in midseason form. Or maybe he was just in post 2015 midseason form.  
Things looked good right from the beginning. No homer from Ohtani. And then Pete Alonso hit a 3 run homer on a pitch about a foot off the ground in the bottom of the 1st! 
Yep. 
The last time the Dodgers were in town was the low point of the season. On May 28, I was at a Dodgers doubleheader sweep with Matt. The next day was the low point. The Mets fell 11 games below .500, a Mets reliever summed up the situation well, and Lindor called a players only meeting, presumably telling the team to get on Grimace's back.
