METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JUNE 20, 2003 GAME:

I know most Mets fans love these "Subway Series" games but I absolutely hate them. I get pretty depressed when the Mets lose a regular game but when it's against the Yankees and the whole city is watching it is so much worse when we lose. It puts me in a bad move for days on ends, especially with all the wise ass Yankee fans around. So when everyone is pumped up for the great series, I shudder, and pray the Mets will pull it out. Since the Mets are only 12-18 going into this season against them, these series have been less than fun and I try to avoid even watching them because it's just too intense and nerve racking. If anything I watch the Mets at bats only unless they are winning big and I'll watch more.
This particular game I figured it's a new year, we don't have much to lose so what the hell. So I'm watching and the Mets blow a few early opportunites angainst an Andy Pettite who is having a horrible year. It's intense and I'm going nuts and then Trachsel who was pitching well gives up the homer and I'm so depressed it's scary. I can't take any more so I turn it off for a while, only to turn back later and see it 3-0, and soon there after 5-0. It kills me. I'm devasted and pray that rain rains out every remaining subway series game.
Sunday night is a killer, I watch alone with great hope only to see Benitez ruin another big game. At some point I'm going to jump off a bridge I'm so depressed. I hate these games. No more interleague play!

I remember it was a rainy night and the first home game for Jose Reyes. Also I remember that Shinjo made a great catch going over the center field wall robbing a Yankee of a home run.
Not to mention a Yankee fan accidentally spilling his beer down my back!
I gave up the ghost in about the 7th inning and heard Giambi's blast on the radio while leaving the parking lot.
Now it's your turn! Tell us what you remember of this game:
Please note:
We're looking for your comments about this specific

current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team.
Such comments, unless in the context of

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.
Thank you!
