Mets and Blue Jays Keep Winning

Twice each since my last post, the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays have won baseball games, extending the lead for each, in its league’s Eastern Division.

The Blue Jays have won 11 straight games and are bidding to make the baseball playoffs for the first time since 1993.

Those playoffs which ended baseball’s last true season and were the last games my father saw before he died, ended dramatically and in great fashion for the Blue Jays.

Joe Carter hit a three run home run to give the Jays a second straight World Series victory.

Meanwhile the Mets, the team my father cheered, have won 11 of 13 games since a seemingly devastating Thursday afternoon loss to the San Diego Padres two weeks ago, which was cited here, as one of only three games they lost at home, despite having a 6 run or greater lead.
