ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rain could postpone Game 5 of the NL championship series Monday night between the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets, with showers expected into late evening.
Rain was forecast until midnight, according to the National Weather Service. The chance of rain was 100 percent and temperatures for the start at Busch Stadium were expected to be in the low 50s.
At the end of a three-and-a-half hour show, on the last night of music at the New York club CBGB, Patti Smith read a list of the fallen, just a few of the musicians and spirits who were so important to the room’s legend but couldn’t be there for the October 15th wake. They included the Cramps’ Bryan Gregory, the critic Lester Bangs, singer Helen Wheels, guitarist Robert Quine, Johnny, Joey and Dee Dee Ramone and Smith’s original pianist Richard Sohl. As her band played at soft funeral-march volume behind her, someone in the audience yelled out, “You missed one.” Smith smiled. “We remember everything,” she said with maternal assurance. Then she pointed out that CBGB was expiring at thirty-three — the same age as Jesus.
ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets will play game five of the National League Championship Series tonight in St. Louis, with the series tied at two wins apiece. Tom Glavine (15-7) is to start for the Mets, with Jeff Weaver (5-4) pitching for the Cardinals in a matchup of Game 1 starters. Both would be pitching on three days’ rest, but rain is possible.”
Last night, Carlos Delgado and the rest of the Mets broke out their big bats just in time, ravaging the Cardinals’ bullpen to make sure the NL championship series will end back in New York. Delgado put New York ahead with a three-run homer, then busted open the game with a two-run double, leading the Mets to a record-setting 12-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night that tied the best-of-seven series at two games apiece.
