Some quick honorable mentions off the top of my head:<BR/><BR/>--The Friday and Saturday games at the end of 1964 in which the Mets beat the Cards and nearly threw the National League into a three-way frenzy.<BR/><BR/>--The Carloses power display in August 2006, trumping Pujols' seven RBIs.<BR/><BR/>--Todd Zeile's ninth-inning (I think) HR to cap a come-from-behind rally on one of his many returns to St. Louis (he was booed badly for being a Met).<BR/><BR/>--While Randy Johnson was perfect-gaming the Braves, Cliff Floyd was driving in the winner against St. Loo at Shea in May 2004 (a brief turning point in that briefly hopeful season).<BR/><BR/>--Franco bests McGwire right after the slugger was traded to St. Louis in 1997.<BR/><BR/>--Mets overcome lousy Isringhausen start in June 1999 to win a Saturday afternoon thriller at Busch. Paves the way for Izzy to be traded for Billy Taylor, but it was a good game.<BR/><BR/>--Wendell strikes out McGwire in the second game of a doubleheader at Shea in August 1998 to preserve a 1-0 win.<BR/><BR/>--Opening Day 1996: Rey O's awesome from-his-knees throw to nail Royce Clayton.<BR/><BR/>--Rico Brogna goes five-for-five on The Baseball Network, the clear highlight of 1994.<BR/><BR/>--Mets sweep Cardinals in June 1990 at Busch as part of a monster 11-game winning streak and 26-5 stretch.<BR/><BR/>--Julio Machado dusts Tom Pagnozzi in September 1989 in a Mets win to keep the team breathing and, more importantly, show we have somebody with killer instinct (perhaps a bit too much, in Julio's case).<BR/><BR/>I could go on. I hope the Mets do starting tomorrow night.<BR/><BR/>Again, wonderful work.

Being up in Boston, I listened to all those games on the radio. That is the bookend game to the 9/11/85 (I think) St Louis 1 - 0 victory in 10 innings, won by Cesar Cendeno with a big HR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
