The Mets / Phillies game was rained out tonight, so I think I'll watch this a few dozen times.
Last night's Mets comeback win over the Phillies - down 7-1 in the last inning, the Mets score 7 times for an 8-7 win.
Francisco Lindor homered and Starling Marte drove in the winning run as the Mets score seven in the 9th to stun the Phillies #CurtainCall

Last night's incredible come from behind win over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium was one of the most amazin' comebacks for the Amazin' Mets in recent memory. Losing 2-0 with two out in the top of the 9th inning, the Mets suddenly erupted for 5 runs to steal a 5-2 victory from the first place (National League Central) Cardinals, who dropped to 9-6 with the loss. A 1 out, Eduardo Escobar single and a steal of second base was followed by a 2 out single by Mark Canha, assisted by an uncharacteristic error by Cardinals third baseman, Nolan Arenado. Canha's hit brought home Escobar with the Mets first run of the game. 2-1 Cardinals lead; 2 out and a runner on first base. The speedy pinch runner, Travis Jankowski, replaced Canha on first before Jeff McNeil then doubled putting runners on second and third. Dominic Smith came off the bench to pinch hit for Tomas Nido and hit a ground ball to Cardinals' first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who made a terrific play to field the ball. But with Smith running hard to first base and Cardinals relief pitcher, Giovanny Gallegos, slow to cover first to catch Goldschmidt's throw, Smith was safe at first with an infield single that scored both Jankowski and McNeil, putting the Mets in the lead, 3-2. The Cardinals removed reliever Gallegos and brought in T.J. McFarland to pitch. Brandon Nimmo blasted McFarland's first pitch into right field seats for a 2 run homerun (Smith scoring ahead of Nimmo), completing the 5 run 9th inning and sending the Mets to the 5-2 victory.
That was fun, let's watch it again!! Lotsa highlights here!

In 1979, they debuted with their album, "The B-52's", which featured "Rock Lobster", "Planet Claire" and "Dance This Mess Around". "Wild Planet", with "Private Idaho", "Give Me Back My Man" and "Party Out Of Bounds", followed in 1980.

Today is going to be Terrific!
New York Islanders legend, Mike Bossy, has died. He passed earlier today at the age of 65. Mike was battling lung cancer.
Mike played his entire ten year career with the Islanders - from 1977-78 until 1986-87, and was a key part of the Islanders’ four consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1979-80, 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83. In 1983-84, the Islanders “drive for five” fell short, as they lost in the finals.
Islanders legend Mike Bossy, whose scoring touch helped drive the franchise to four straight championships, died after a battle with terminal lung cancer. He was 65. Bossy’s diagnosis became public…
It should have happened years ago. Tomorrow, it gets unveiled.
Bring on the Celtics! The Nets beat the Cavaliers in tonight’s play-in game and it’s on to the playoffs!

Random Monday morning post:
NICK LOWE “So It Goes”. From 1976, this was a single marking the beginning of Nick’s solo career, following the breakup of the band Brinsley Schwarz.
In this video, we are watching the band Rockpile - with Nick on bass and vocals, Dave Edmunds and Billy Bremner both on guitar and Terry Williams (who would join Dire Straits in 1982) on drums. On the recording, it was just Nick on bass and guitar and Steve Goulding, of the Rumour, on drums. “So It Goes” was part of Nick’s first solo album, 1978’s “Jesus Of Cool”, a variation of which was issued in the U.S. as “Pure Pop For Now People”.

On to the postseason for the Brooklyn Nets. This season didn’t play out the way it was supposed to, but at least the Nets have a shot at winning a championship.
I find this stuff so fascinating! Everything about the process of cutting a vinyl record blows my mind. But, despite finding it fascinating, I don’t think I could be a mastering engineer. My OCD and perfectionist tendencies would make the process torturous for me. It would take me a week to do one cut! My quest for the perfect this and the perfect that would put me in an asylum! I remember how manaical I would be recording my records to cassettes at home. Are the recording levels perfectly balanced? Are they too high? Are they too low? Is there too much “red”? “This song is much louder than the first one and the recording levels are pinning too much in the red!! Lower the recording levels slightly and start over from the beginning!! NO!! Too low, start again........."
Check this out. Very cool.

Paul Siebel -
Folk rock/country singer songwriter, Paul Siebel, died early today at the age of 84. Siebel was born in Buffalo, New York on September 19, 1937. Siebel is best known for other artists' versions of songs he wrote. These covers were recorded by the likes of David Bromberg, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Jeff Walker, Leo Kottke, Plainsong (featuring Ian Matthews), Kate Wolf, Mary McCaslin, Willy DeVille and more. His debut album, “Woodsmoke And Oranges”, was released by Elektra Records in 1970 and featured David Bromberg. Siebel followed that in 1971 with “Jack-Knife Gypsy”, also issued by Elektra. The second album featured contributions from Clarence White, David Grisman, Doug Kershaw, Bernie Leadon, Buddy Emmons, Russ Kunkel and more. “Jack-Knife Gypsy” would be the last studio album he would release.
