I got to celebrate Canada Day on a plane but now we are in NYC and ready to build on our least two wins.

The Mets are pitching Curt Schilling (7-6, 4.02).

I am hitting seventh.

The Mets struck first as Lenny Dykstra scored on a Kevin Mitchell double in the bottom of the 1st.
Then Alan Trammell scored on a Greg Vaughn sac fly.
I took care of a B.J. Surhoff grounder to end the inning.

I led off the 3rd by driving a fastball to left for a single.
With two out, Otis Nixon smacked a two run homer!
