McCray is correct, however Lawton is incorrect. You might know the right answer as an infielder who spent a single year with NY. And Mankowski is incorrect, as well. You might know the correct answer as a Puerto Rican who was once traded for Luis Aparicio. A new question has been added. 1. Before a game in June 2011, when was the only other Mets game to end on a hit by pitch with the Mets winning? Hint: The date could be considered a combination of Ron Swoboda's number and Mike Baxter's number. The year was one in which the Mets went 72-90. Hint: The date could also be considered a combination of Francisco Alvarez's number and David Peterson's number. The year was one in which the Mets were managed by Jeff Torborg. Hint: The date could also be considered a combination of the number of doubles David Wright hit in 2005 (and 2007, and 2008) and the number of shutouts RA Dickey threw in 2012. That year, Bobby Bonilla led the team with 19 dingers. Hint: On that date in Mets history (though not the year), the Mets won their first game ever. That year, Sid Fernandez led the club with 14 wins. --originally posted by "m8644" 2. I was a runner on first base When Piazza hit his post-9/11 blast I have the same first name as a TV icon Someone who gives us memories of the past Who am I? Hint: Stayed the Mets just one year, 2001. --originally posted by "Joe Rigatoni" 3. I got the first Met save that year I thought my career was gonna soar But then I had a few bad outings And the Mets showed me the door Who am I?

Still lots of easy ones left.

^ also So Taguchi (mentioned him earlier).

Can't win 'em all.

They can still come back.

They're looking anemic.

Ohtani is rocking Adrian Houser.

I don't think the Mets are going to lose again this season. Also, Scott Copeland has been the Mets top lookup on Ultimate Mets a lot recently...what happened that made him such a hot topic lately?

9 G, 6.26 ERA, then his Mets career will be Ded as a door-Niel.

32 G, 3.77 ERA, which will give us hope for next year. He'll do well enough to make the 2025 Opening Day roster, but have an ERA over 11 in April and be gone by May (of 2025).

...and we're back. Shane Halter is correct! All tied up again. A new question has been added with hints for the rest. 1.
