I recently seen the Long Island Ducks Play against Nashua. I glanced out at the field and there was Julio taking his warmup pitches for Nashua. I glanced a little further and there was Buddy Harrelson coaching first base. I wondered if Buddy felt a little insecure or was having flashbacks as he watched Julio out on the mound.

Oh that night in 1990! I was working the late shift at JFK and all Steve Summers (WFAN) said all night after this guy lost the game was JULIO VALERA...over and over. This cost Harrelson his job and all credibility with the players. Harrelson was a Wilpon/Harazin stooge and was coerced into starting this guy. Davey Johnson would have told them both to drop dead.

Harrelson turned on Ron Darling because the Mets braintrust believed Valera was the next pitching star to come through the system! Harrelson's decision to go with this lump cost him in the long run. I never understood what they were thinking! It truly did cost us the division in 1990!

The guy ended up a bum, and probably shouldn't have started those games, but if you look at the games, they won two of them and the one he lost against the Pirates was Sept 6th, early enough that they still could've won pennant, not a great decision but it's too much to put blame on him.
