So far, Long Island has been spared, and the peak hurricane season is winding down. Matt Rosencrans, NOAA's lead hurricane forecaster, said Thursday that there's about a 30% chance of any tropical storm forming in the next few weeks, and a lower chance that such a storm could reach the Northeast. Officially, hurricane season in the Atlantic Basin continues through the end of November.

This feat is followed by an even more daunting task: the Oyster Eating Contest in which hungry contestants attempt to gobble down as many mollusks as possible in two minutes in 40 seconds. These are moments that will take place at the 41st annual Oyster Fest, which comes to Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay on Oct. 19-20. The festival is now under the direction of the Town of Oyster Bay, in cooperation with the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce.

Because for these Mets, the big hit always comes — or has, at least, for more than four months now, from surviving over the summer to thriving in autumn. And, although their clinching 4-1 win in Game 4 of the NL Division Series followed the script, this version was as spectacular as any.
