Funny. Wayne Randazzo just mentioned the top 5 on the pregame show and I had just come over here to post it as a trivia question.

I was working on this this morning. WAYNE RANDAZZO IS GETTING PAID FOR WHAT I'M GIVING AWAY FOR FREE!!

[MFS62]

Does that mean he gets two numbers in the Met count?

I was wondering if David Wright can make this list.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe they should let Vargas wait another eleven years before his next start.

He didn't pitch very well, but what a bonanza of Met trivia Jason Vargas's crummy start yielded!

[Edgy MD]

It looks like David Cone's first Mets tenure ended with a relief appearance.

First? August 23, 1992, he started.

Second ended in relief.

Yeah, I misread. My bubs.
