    Dierker is correct. He was 18 years, 276 days old when he beat the Mets on 6/25/1965. Randy Johnson is close, but you're an inch off. I have him at 6' 10", and there's a 6'11" guy who's beaten the Mets twice. Wagner, Wells, Tekulve, all wrong. (The lightest guy and the shortest guy, I should say, are the same guy.)

    Posted on Facebook's UMDB page: Jamie Moyer yesterday became the oldest pitcher ever to beat the Yankees. Like anyone cares! Here's something more important: Can you name the oldest pitcher ever to beat the METS? Hint, it's NOT Jamie Moyer. When Moyer beat the Mets on May 2, he was 47 years, 165 days old. Our trivia answer was 48 years and 20 days old when he got a win over the Mets. Who was he? Exclusive to the Crane Pool Forum: 1. Who was the youngest pitcher ever to beat the Mets? (He was 18 years, 276 days old.) He was one of only eight distinct teenagers ever to get a win over the Mets. (Some of them had multiple wins; the Mets have lost 17 games to teens.) The Mets haven't lost a game to a teenager since 1973, by the way. The following height and weight questions are unofficial... actual heights and weights are very hard to verify, especially weight. 2. Who was the tallest pitcher ever to beat the Mets? 3. Who was the shortest pitcher? 4. Who was the heaviest? 5. Who was the lightest?

    It would be significant if he was the oldest pitcher ever to beat the Mets... but he's not! I think I feel a trivia question coming on...

    I think it was the same guy who put the bop in the bop sh-bop sh-bop.

    That's good news! Having him fade away wouldn't have been a good thing. Hopefully he'll keep it up and play himself into the conversation for 2011.

    Voting for Tuesday night's victory over the Indians in Cleveland will close on Friday morning. Schaefer POTG 6/15/10 - Mets 7, Indians 6 WE STILL HAVE SOME VOTES FOR "FELICIANO" THAT ARE MISSING A FIRST INITIAL! PLEASE GET INTO THE HABIT OF VOTING FOR PFELICIANO OR JFELICIANO! Since Jesus Feliciano didn't play in this game, I know that the votes are for Pedro, but that won't always be the case. I'd hate to have to discard ambiguous votes like I had to for one of the games in Baltimore. Please go back and edit your votes. Thank you!

    Although he hasn't pitched in what seems like forever, Oliver Perez still leads the Mets in walks.

    I'm not going to spend any time ruing this trade. He didn't come with a back-breaking salary. We're not missing Brian Stokes. He only started 10 games (although the Mets were 3-7 in the games that he did start). If, at the end of the season, we can make a valid argument that Gary Matthews' presence for the first two months cost the Mets a playoff berth, then I'll feel differently. But I don't see that as being likely.

    Please remember to include the first initial when voting for Mets named Feliciano. Both Pedro and Jesus appeared in the June 13 game in Baltimore, and two voters simply voted for "Feliciano" and I had to, sadly, disregard their votes.

    Fafif is rolling; hope he eclipses Ashie's streak from April!

    Now that I've attended this game, I'm getting even more e-mails from the Orioles than I do from the Mets. "Here's a recap of the game you attended!" "Was there anything you forgot to buy?" "We hope you had a great time at the game!"

    Looks like Marlene Dietrich to me. They should make a toaster that imprints the Virgin Mary on the toast! A miracle every time! Make a fortune selling toast to the devout!

    The Mets haven't won a close division race since 1973!
