Game 3 of the NLCS, first one at Shea
A [u:3tdqwfpg]12:20 start[/u:3tdqwfpg] on Saturday afternoon (remember those kiddies?!?)

Darling gets into early trouble and the Mets are down 4-0 until 2 singles, an error, and a Strawberry 3R HR ties it up in the 6th

Astros go back in front by a run until a bunt single by Backman to leadoff the 9th was followed one out later by a Dykstra fly to RF that kept carrying ... and carrying ...

Ha, I can't believe I forgot to post this here on the anniversary. But I just posted this somewhere here recently, didn't I? I posted it all over social media yesterday. I even tweeted a copy right to Dykstra.

Game 4, Oct 12 1986, was on Sunday night - the AL game got the afternoon start that day even though they were out on the west coast (noon start local time).

http://www.ultimatemets.com/gamedetail. ... 13&tabno=D

But this was Mike Scott's game as the Mets managed one run on just 3 singles - and even the lone run only happened due one of Mookie's patented dashes from 1st to 3rd on a groundout which set up Danny Heep's Sac Fly.
Sid, Roger, and Doug Sisk combined for a 4-hitter but two of those were HRs.
I hope when Wally was bunting in the 9th down by 3 runs he was trying to get on instead of Sac bunt otherwise I'm going to have to have some words with both him and Davey.

btw, Games 3 & 4 combined to take 5 Hours 18 minutes.
Games 1 & 2 in the ongoing LAD/WAS series combined to go 8 Hours 12 Minutes while scoring a total of 18 runs compared to these two NYM/HOU games which combined for 14


The one similarity between that year's games and this year's? Joe West was working both.

I was at that game. It was the second postseason game I ever attended and the first involving the Mets.

I apparently neglected to follow up on this little project I started just as things were about to get good.

I would love ESPN to do one of those sports science things based on momentum etc. to see if Mookie would have beat that out.

I feel like he definitely would have beat Buckner to the bag. Stanley I'm not as sure.

you linked the internet, but I don't think the Internet feed was rebroadcasting it last time.

Re: 30 years ago today ...

Yeah, it's unclear if iHeart will be simulcasting. They can't with live Mets games, but I have no idea what the MLB/satellite radio agreement for archived games is.
