Quote of the Day
"I made a bad pitch to (Keith) Hernandez and he made me pay for it. But that pitch to (Hector) Cruz was damn near perfect. Look at the replays - he practically threw his bat at the ball. I have no idea how in the world that ball made it through the infield. I can't help but think that if Roy (Staiger) was at third, that would have been an out." -New York Mets closer Bob Apodaca, after a ground ball by Cruz sneaks past third baseman Wayne Garrett and shortstop Jack Heidemann to drive in the winning run. Staiger was pinch hit for in the seventh inning by Dave Kingman and replaced in the field by Garrett.
