Jim Tracy took an early shower. Tom Gorzelanny’s exit came even earlier. But the biggest news from Shea Stadium tonight — site of the Mets putting a serious beating on the Pirates (6-0 after 4 innings) — would be Howie Rose’s stunned announcement that WFAN’s Steve Somers was married yesterday.
While Rose expressed disappointment at not being invited, he failed to ID Captain Midnight’s partner, so we’re left wondering if Steve got hitched to a lady human…or, perhaps to a guy. As Somers’ close pal Jerry Seinfeld might say, not that there’s anything wrong with that, congratulations to one of sports yack radio’s few entertaining personalities.

With the emergence of former Met Heath Bell in the Padres bullpen, San Diego manager Bud Black was quoted in this morning’s San Diego Union Tribune as saying of reliever Scott Linebrink, “it might be time to take a step back and not be used exclusively in the eighth and the ninth.”
“A friendly emailer tells me that Royals second baseman Mark Grudzielanek was in the original lineup, but was scratched at the last minute. Joe Girardi says he may be headed to the Mets. We’ll keep you posted. And now back to my sweet n’ sour chicken.”

Honeymoon in…The Jerome Zone. It’s still classier than Mt. Airy Lodge.
