Jason Isringhausen's only win for the 99 Mets. It's probably almost forgotten that he actually pitched almost 40 innings that season as we all associate him with the mid 90's teams.

He worked in and out of trouble all game, walking 5 but never breaking. The offense was fantastic as Roger Cedeno hit a rare homer and they scored 11 runs in all.

On the occasion of Angel Hernandez, possibly the worst umpire ever, announcing his retirement at long last, I remember being at this game, in which none other than Angel Hernandez worked at third base.

In the third inning, Mets 3B coach Cookie Rojas strenuously objected to Hernandez failing to call a balk on Blue Jays pitcher Pat Hentgen.

A rhubarb ensued and Hernandez ejected Rojas from the game. Bobby Valentine came out to continue the dispute to no avail, and he finished the inning in the coach’s box - the only time in my life I’ve seen a manager on the coaching lines.

Bench coach Bruce Benedict finished the game coaching third in place of Rojas.

The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:

Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and we would let it remain.

We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments, and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.
