Game 18: Sea Dogs (4–13) at Binghamton Mets (8–7)…Humber former B-Met
The Sea Dogs have dropped three straight, 6 of 7, and finish their four-game series in Binghamton on Sunday afternoon…Pretty crazy to be in the same town where Phil Humber pitched in 2005–06. At dinner last night, nobody in the restaurant knew who he was — that would never happen in Portland. They know all their former Sea Dogs. If things don’t get harder for the Red Sox, they face Humber on Thursday. I still can’t believe the Sox game, but it’s still a long season. For those who say yesterday was a season-killing loss, you should stop watching baseball. Sorry to be so harsh, but the drama is getting a little bit too much. (Below are lineups)
- Binghamton is where the Eastern League was formed in 1923
- B-Mets official scorer Steve Kraly appeared in 5 games with the Yankees in 1953.
- The creator of the Twilight Zone Rod Serling grew up in Binghamton, NY, and that influenced his work.
- Sea Dogs and Mets met last August 20th at Fenway Park, Chris Martin took the loss in his Double-A debut.
