R5 - MSW 45k (9F)

#3 Gold Shield (3-1) - Working well and the 9 panels should be right in his wheelhouse. WON $4.40

Thanks, Dave - Yeah, it was a little chilly. Hopefully just a few more weeks. If the Mets can stay healthy they'll have a top notch rotation.

Good deal - I agree - I remember going to Shea as a young kid before moving to Florida.

And i remember going to Ebbets field nearby to see the Brooklyn Dodgers before they broke my heart and left. Tried to watch the NYY but just couldn't, before the mets joined the league with the houson colt 45's. Then went to the old Polo grounds to see the Mets begin wwith Gil Hodges, Marvelous Marv Throneberry, Ron Hunt etc. Let the renaisance begin.
