Greg Prince discovered the Mets when he was 6, during the magical summer of 1969. He is a Long Island-based writer, editor and communications consultant. Contact him here. Jason Fry is a Brooklyn writer whose first memories include his mom leaping up and down cheering for Rusty Staub. Check out his other writing here. Got something to say?

We're Gonna Get Chai, Chai, Chai in the Late Day SunEighteen — as represented by chai — is considered good luck in Judaism. And when you get as lucky as the Mets did by scoring eighteen runs the Sunday before Labor Day at Wrigley Field, then there’s no need to belabor the point by saying much beyond mazel tov! So sit back and enjoy, knowing that there was one day in the otherwise offense-starved 2010 season when we rooted for a team capable of scoring eighteen runs. And not giving up nineteen in the process.  6 comments - (Comments closed) | |  Print This Post |  Chai, Offensive Explosion, Paul McCartney, Wrigley Field 6 comments to We’re Gonna Get Chai, Chai, Chai in the Late Day Sun |

Mazel Tov!
All I can say is thank our lucky stars they got 18. I’d rather hear some Alice Cooper puns than to have you paraphrasing Janice Ian.
BLIMEY. We WON a day game when I was watching!! And scored 18 runs. Both of these events have not happened much lately
Once again, the Mets win the one game at Wrigley I don’t go to. It is so infuriating.
Eighteen runs, huh? Did they win?
