I don't blog much any more, but I wrote a piece this morning ranking the 1986 Mets' rap game: http://you.stonybrook.edu/cdorso/2017/04/03/get-metsmerized/

One game as a Met, zero AB JON ADKINS 1. Three pitches in a 1-2-3 7th inning of a 2007 game against the Nationals. Appeared in 55 games for the Padres the previous year. JACK EGBERT 2. Got Freddy Galvis to line to second and Brian Schneider to fly out to center to end the ninth after a Ty Wigginton homer put the May 28, 2012 game out of reach. 3. If you only count his one inning as a Met, his 18.00 K/9 rate would make HIM the hall of famer. KENNY GREER 4. Perhaps his single most notable quirk is catching the ceremonial first pitch I threw out when he was a member of the 1997 Rochester Red Wings. (Plus something else about his 17th-inning Met appearance.) MANNY HERNANDEZ 5. Pitched the bottom of the 6th of a blowout loss to the Expos in September 1989. Got some innings with the Astros in 1986-87. JOE HIETPAS 6. Played one inning in 2004, and then appeared in 27 games with a 2.47 ERA with St. Lucie in 2007, but got lit up Binghamton in 2008 and left baseball. JESSE HUDSON 7. Pitched two innings on 9/19/69. AKEEL MORRIS 8. Went walk-walk-forceout-single-single-homer-flyout-walk in one game in 2015 and hasn't been back since. DAN MURRAY 9. Two innings on August 9, 1999, then traded to KC for Glendon Rusch. GARRETT OLSON 10. Faced five batters on August 8, 2012 in a blowout loss to the Marlins, and has a 108.00 ERA to show for it. DON ROSE 11. Two innings as a Met in 1971, then a footnote to Mets history on December 10. MAC SCARCE 12. Faced one batter as a -- Richie Hebner -- and gave up a walk-off hit. One plate appearance, zero official AB TOBY BORLAND 13. Acquired from the Phillies in November 1996, then traded to the Red Sox for Ricky Trlicek in May 1997. DJ CARRASCO 14. 7.36 ERA in 3.2 innings. Better known for the number on his back in 2011-12 than the numbers on his Mets stat sheet. 15. Stared down Clayton Kershaw... and walked. Sterling Award winner who was a minor league starter but only lasted 33 MLB relief innings. LHP. ERIC GUNDERSON 16. Bits and pieces of seasons from 1990-2000, most notably with Boston and Texas later in the decade. LOOGied in 44 Mets games in 1994-95. KEVIN LOMON 17. Rule 5 pick returned to Atlanta before the end of May 1995 after giving up 17 hits and 5 walks in 9.1 innings. MIKE MARSHALL 18. Bullpen ace for most of his career, which ended with 31 innings as a Met in 1981. Has a notable post-baseball career as well. JOSH STINSON 19. Sterling Award winner in the low minors who worked his way up to the bigs in 2011, but went 0-2, 6.92 in 13 innings. Scored a run despite having zero plate appearances DONNE WALL 20. The Doug Sisk of the 2001 team, he pinch-ran for Mike Piazza and scored in a late September game, but never came to the plate.
