Jose DeLeon almost threw a no-hitter against us. He was absolutely awesome. It's hard to believe that two years later he went 2-19. Mookie won this game in the bottom of the 12th inning in true fabulous Mookinian fashion: HE SCORED FROM SECOND ON A GROUNDOUT! Jesse Orosco won both games of this doubleheader to cap an incredible month for him. And can you believe Mike Torrez went eleven innings? A great game all around.

It was after this doubleheader that it became apparent that the first dark ages were drawing to a close. The first game the Mets go down 4-0 in the first after Jason Thompson hits a grand slam. They stay in it, chipping away, Darryl hits a HR and I believe Keith does as well and they win 7-6. The second game ends as above with Mookie never breaking stride and scoring in the bottom of the 12 from second on a groundout.

The times they were a changin'.

I was 7 years old. It was my first time at Shea. It was really hot and it was a Banner Day doubleheader. We left about halfway through the second game. I remember watching Mookie score the winning run on the TV in my living room.

During tonight‘s Mets game they said it was the first doubleheader where both games went into extra innings since 1983 versus the Pirates. I immediately came to this page to check my memory because my thoughts went to July 31…Orosco wins twice… Mookie scores from second on a ground out.

What a great day this was. I’d forgotten the big comeback in game 1.

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.
