This date in Mets history c yah Doug Sisk.


He was the Armando Benitez of the 1980’s He took your hopes for a Met win and squashed them. He would make every game he is was in a chance for you to hold your breath and pray for death. Nothing was easy with Doug Sisk. A reliever that just made every 8th and 9th inning he was in sense of utter panic. No such thing as 1-2-3 inning for him no way. A walk, a hit, a double and boom that lead was gone. He was booed and it was so deserved. I think at that time in Mets history no other player was hated more then Doug Sisk.

Well back in 1990 he was traded on this date to our hated Atlanta Braves for Tony Valle. He should have been traded long before that for a box of rocks and a klondike bar.
