August 21st, 1985

Today the Giants are pitching Mike Krukow (10-10, 3.97).

The hometown Mets are answering with Sid Fernandez (12-5, 2.57).

I am 0 for 3 vs Sid.

I start the game off, trying to change that and I do! I leg out a grounder for an infield single! Chris Brown comes up behind me and does the same thing! Two men on without the ball leaving the infield. Chili Davis comes up and I swipe 3rd. Stolen base #89! Chili singles to left and we are on the board before recording an out! Brown goes to 3rd and home and ground balls.

Giants lead 2-0!

I get the first out against the Mets, handling a grounder by Wally Backman. With one out Hubie Brooks drives Lenny Dykstra home.

Giants lead 2-1.

I come up in the 2nd with two out and Krukow on 2nd. Sid struck me out.

Mike Fitzgerald tied thing sup in the bottom half with a lead-off solo homer. The then get the lead when Fernandez hits a sac fly, scoring Cesar Cedeno. They get another when Brooks does the same, scoring Dave Magadan.

Mets lead 4-2.

In the 3rd I get Fitzgerald's grounder for the 2nd out. Magadan scored Cedeno with a triple and then scored on a Fernandez single. Dykstra grounds out to me to end it.

Mets lead 6-2.

I came up in the 5th with one out. I flew out to Mookie Wilson in centre.

Curt Brown took the mound for us that inning.

In the 6th Chili singled, stole 2nd and moved to 3rd when they messed up the play and then scored on a Rob Deer sac fly.

Mets lead 6-3.

In the 7th I came up with two out and Mike Hargrove on 2nd, and now facing Greg Minton. I cracked a hit to right and scored Hargrove! I then tried to steal on a pitch out... and was in there anyway! Stolen base #90! I was left there.

Mets lead 6-4.

Pat Perry took over pitching duties for us that inning. Before he could get out of the inning Cedeno singled home Brooks.

Mets lead 7-4.

It never got any better and we lost again.

62-57

I had a decent day. 2 for 4 with an RBI, a run scored, and 2 stolen bases.

I would still rather we won.

George Brett got career hit #2000 today. Reggie Jackson got career home run #500 yesterday.

One day I will get the former, but never the latter.
