Live Blog: Shea farewell to regular season

 
10:24 a.m.: Dwight Gooden is here at Shea today. Gary Sheffield had requested his presence as he bids for his 500th homer, but Doc is at Shea for the first time since representing the Yankees at the 2000 Subway Series. *** Word is a Mets-Brewers play-in game would be at night Monday on TBS. *** For whatever it’s worth, Oliver Perez is sporting what could be considered a mild mohawk. Actually, Peter Botte, who has teenage kids, tells me it’s called a faux-hawk. (link)
