We Need to See This All Week
by Greg Prince on 21 September 2008 9:49 pm 
The one and only Home Run Apple approaches its last week of regular-season active duty. That danged piece of fruit better be overripe from Mets batters successfully bobbing for dingers by the time Sunday evening rolls around.
Hit Mets. Hit. Even when you’ve got a two-run lead, hit some more. When the Apple goes up, so do our chances.
Attention Carlos Beltran: The only bunting we need to see is along the railings a week from Wednesday. You and your buddies can make it so if you hit. And hit some more.

Greg,
Let's hope the apple is seen quite often only due to Met home runs. There is always the chance it could stop working mechanicaly (like almost everything else at Shea) and remain in an upward position.
Not out of the question, but it would indicate at least one home run had been hit. Maybe.
