The ultimate in the "past-his-prime" pickup department.

Now...

If the Mets had gotten him in, say, 1975 --when he was coming off a Cy Young Award & The Mets had just traded Tug McGraw....

At the time, I thought it was a smart move by the Mets to pick Marshall up. Back then, I looked upon it as the team picking up a savvy veteran who knew how to win. Although I don't recall him losing a game on a wild pitch during an intentional walk, I do remember him pitching pretty well. His numbers, particularly his ERA, were decent for the team at the team. However, I question why schmucko Torre didn't use him more in save situations. Wasn't that Marshall's claim to fame throughout his career?

Mex, a quick check at retrosheet.org show that you are mostly right about Marshall. I think the game you are referring to was played September 1, 1981 at the Astrodome.

The Mets trailed 2-0 for much of the game, but tied it in the seventh. Marshall replaced Pete Falcome in the bottom of the seventh and retired seven of the first eight batters he faced. But with one out in the ninth, Andy Ashby doubled. A groundout moved pinch-runner Scott Loucks to third, and with Harry Spilman at the plate, Marshall threw a wild pitch giving the Astros the win.
