August 31st, 1985

You get past Dwight Gooden and who do you get from the Mets? Sid Fernandez (14-5, 2.58).
The Giants have Mike Krukow (10-11, 4.07).

I am 1 for 6 vs Sid.

I got the last out in the 1st off a Mookie Wilson grounder, saving a run.

I led off the home half by hitting a double into the right field corner! I quickly take 3rd with stolen base #98! Chris Brown scores me with a sac fly.
Did that make Sid mad? He hit the next batter.
He paid for it as Kenny Oberkfell later pushed Chili across.

Giants lead 2-0.

I got Dave Magadan for the 3rd out in the 2nd.

I came up with one out in the 2nd. I struck out.

In the 3rd Hubie Brooks scored Wally Backman, with a little help from a bad throw by Mike Jones.

Giants lead 2-1.

In the top of the 5th we ended thing with a nice Priske - Oberkfell - Hargrove double play to get Magadan and Lenny Dykstra.

I led off the bottom half by flying out to Mookie Wilson in centre.

I came up next in the 7th, with two out and Hargrove on 2nd. I grounded out to Hubie at short.

The Mets managed to tie the game in the 8th when Hubie got a two out RBI single, scoring Dykstra from 2nd.

Game tied 2-2.

It didn't stay that way long. Chris Brown led off the bottom half with a double. They intentionally walked Chili. One out later Bob Brenly singled him home. Brian Harper pinch hit for Oberkfell and walked. Lee Mazzilli pinch hit for Hargrove and doubled all three baserunners home!

Giants lead 6-2!

Mark Davis took the mound for us in the 9th. He gave up a walk, but that is it and we won again!

68-60. That is five in a row!


I went 1 for 4 with a run scored and a stolen base.

It is September call-up time!

Lots of guys are being added to the roster.

Bill Laskey, Mark Grant, Mark Calvert, Mike Aldrete, Steve Nicoscia, Terry Harper, Eddie Vargas, Alejandro Sanchez, Guy Sularz, Scott Thompson, and Keith Smith.

Nice to see Aldrete and Harper back.

Sularz and Smith are shortstops. I predict more early exits for me in the future.
