GT #3 Caught in a Giant Webb, Mariners need to flex their way to a series win

Fraley has a 1.167 OPS while hitting 1/5 with a double.

Would have made for a fine CF/2B/SS/C in the 80's!

He's going to make for a fine 4th OF in the 2020's.

Graveman shows that you could take a pretty good starter, put him in the bullpen, and he becomes a really good reliever. Obviously thats not the case with all of them, but his ability to pitch more than 1 inning is a huge asset, and his added velocity is sure doing him well.

Haniger!

Nice not-walk by Haniger! Doing what corner outfielders do!

You have been absolutely dead on with your predictions so far. Vegas buddy, I'm telling you. We'd have a blast.

I keep forgetting, sorry. Back in the day we’d leave work, have dinner in Chinatown, dessert in Little Italy, and somehow make it to La Belle Époque on Broadway by 11pm for some very drunken tango dancing.

(Sigh) God, I miss New York sometimes....

I wouldn't eat in Chinatown now if they paid me but Da Nico's is still there and was the best in Littly Italy imho. They absolutely spoil you in there. I get fatter just thinking about the pasta in that place. 212 steakhouse...cuts so good it brings tears. Food is no doubt good there and it'll cost you a small fortune. Other than that I try to stay out of the city these days. People suck, crime is up, got to wear a damn mask everywhere. LOT of people have moved out. Cuomo and Diblasio have singlehandedly destroyed the city. Even the democrats hate them. The new ferry system is awesome I got to say. Same cost as a subway swipe $2.75. You avoid traffic and get some fresh air off the river as you pass riker's island.

Maybe it’s good that I just have memories. I remember Puglio’s was the only place left that would serve capuzello, and no one would order it. Thete was also an incredible espresso and dessert place on Orchard Street that had been there for 70 years or so with the most unbelievable sforiadella.

You know what's still nice? Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. I mean you would not recognize the neighborhood now but there are two places there that bring you back to some different times. Tino's Deli before the Chase bank STILL the BEST imho Cappuccino on the planet. I just go there for the coffee it's so good. Down the block Marron Pastry for cannoli's. I met the attorney for the Yankees there once. He was showing off his World Champions ring. They have an Italian market right across the street from Marron that I'm sure hasn't changed in 50 years. Let's put it this way...My wife wants me to drive her every once in awhile to a blood test place around there and I never say no because it gives me an excuse to get a cappuccino.
We had a good run here during the late 80's and early 90's good time during our youth. NYC exposed me to alot of different cultures and opportunities to expand my career. I miss the old Yankee stadium. The new one is a billboard for every corporation in America. Tickets will cost you a kidney. Now with COVID? Forget about it. My wife retires from the school board in a few years and we can go anywhere. It's time to go.
