I live in California and while I was listening to the Angels' game on the radio, I heard the update: Mets 1, Expos 0 in the bottom of the ninth. I got a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. I knew it was time for the inevitable Armando Meltdown. I wouldn't trust this guy to lock my front door, or pet-sit my cat, let alone close a Major League Baseball game. Even Mel Rojas, Rich Rodriguez and Donne Wall are laughing at this guy. The back of Armando's jersey needs to have "Benitez" replaced with the word that best describes his performance: "Flammable."

I believe this was the infamous Rey Sanchez haircut game, where he got a trim in the clubhouse during game play.

Working for an airline helps when traveling to Mets road games! I flew to San Juan for the game. I was surprised there was not an official scorecard; however Banco Popular had their own, featuring all of the Puerto Rican players from the visiting teams. Although, he was not good with the Mets, Sandy Alomar was still the featured visiting player for the local fans. I was almost squashed against the infield fence trying to obtain an autograph. I managed to have Sandy sign his pic on the program and that was the highlight of the day! The Mets lost 2-1. I also recall the intense heat of the afternoon sun! The following day, before leaving the Island, I persuaded a local liquor store employee to give me the Expo banner with all of the team logos; including the Mets! It's amazing what a $20 bill will buy!
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!
