July 14 - 20, 1986

Houston Police 4, New York Mets 0.  At least that’s what the t-shirts sold by Cooter’s Bar in Houston said after four Mets got into a confrontation there with a couple of off-duty police officers, got arrested, and spent a night in a Houston prison.  We’ve got the full breakdown of everything that happened on the worst night of the year for Tim Teufel, Ron Darling, Bob Ojeda and Rick Aguilera.  Plus, we talk about the 1986 All-Star Game and the beginning of the 1986 second half.  You don’t want to miss this one!

July 7 - 13, 1986

The first half of the 1986 baseball season wraps up.  Find out which Mets are selected for the All-Star Game.  Hear about their third on-field brawl of the year.  And join the 86 Mets in wearing a bright red wig to honor former teammate and new Mets Hall of Famer, Rusty Staub!

June 30 - July 6, 1986

On the Third of July in 1986, the Mets played what many consider their most exciting regular season game of the year.  Down 5-3 in the tenth inning, home runs by Darryl Strawberry and Ray Knight give them a walk-off win on Fireworks Night at Shea.  Also this week, the Mets once again sweep the Cardinals, burying their 1985 rival.  And the team says goodbye to the second-longest tenured Met, Ed Lynch.  Listen on in as we near the conclusion of the season’s first half!

June 23 - 29, 1986

What is wrong with Dwight Gooden? That is the question that everyone is asking in June of 1986 as the Mets ace continues to struggle.  And elsewhere in the starting rotation, Bruce Berenyi is given one last chance to prove himself as the fifth starter, with Rick Aguilera waiting in the wings.  Listen on in!

June 16 - 22, 1986

With a 10 and a half game lead in the NL East, the Mets face off with the second place Montreal Expos in an opportunity to blow the division wide open.  One game features Doc Gooden going up against childhood friend and high school baseball teammate, Floyd Youmans.  But this is not the Gooden of 1984 and 1985.  And in movie theaters, “The Karate Kid, Part II” opens.  Tune on in!
