Bob Ojeda

And on eight occasions, the team trailing has come back to win it all, including last year when Kansas City climbed off the deck against St. Louis.

Trying to breathe some life back into his team, Davey Johnson hands the ball to former Boston left-hander Bob Ojeda tonight.

He was 18-5 this year for New York.

He's opposed by Red Sox right-hander Oil Can Boyd, who was 16-10.

star game snubs not so much as uh it's a different time it's for a different cause and it's a very much a team effort right now and uh the all-star thing like i said was a little bit selfish but all in all right now the world series is the most important thing right now in my life and going out pitching game three would would be as equal as to accept that

In our continuing search to delve into the pertinent issues of the day, we present a word association drill with Bob Ojeda, starting with Fenway Park.

Former neighborhood.

For the Mets, the 26-year-old Yaley right-hander Ron Darling.

Now, Hurst is interesting to note, actually struck out more for inning pitch this year than his teammate Roger Clements.

Here's a guy who had an ERA under three despite being a left-hander pitching at Fenway Park in a DH league.

As for Darling, he was 15-6, but he had 13 no decisions and his team won 11 of those games.

Well, it's been somewhat disappointing for myself, but after 15 years and losing four playoffs, and the last playoff I was involved in this year a couple of days ago was the most exciting one I've ever played.

So I just have to wait until I get to Fenway Park, and maybe I'll get a couple of pinch hits and appearances here.

Keith, how exhausted emotionally, physically, are you and your teammates with the incredible end of the playoff series, the 16-inning game in Houston, and the long season?

I don't think we're tired at all.

Hurst against Gooden for game five.

Clemens against Ojeda if there is a game six.

And then if there's a seven...

It would be Ron Darling coming back against Oil Can Boy.

He knows what Darling's going to try to do, and he knows pretty much what to expect.

Well, it's the second time around for Wade now to look at Ron Darling.

Darling having counsel first with Mike Torres about the older Red Sox hitters, then Bobby Ojeda about the young hitters, and then pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre about pitching here at Fenway.

Pass ball strike.

He was the losing pitcher.

He worked five innings against the Mets, and he gave up seven hits and was beaten 5-1 by Bobby Ojeda.

The Mets, of course, losing game number one and number four to Mike Scott and the Astros.

And in game three, Lenny Dykstra's two-run home run gave the Mets a 2-1 lead, but it was evened on Sunday night.

Nobody out, obviously.

Mets infield in double play depth.

Kevin Bass, if you remember, with a base-running mistake in game two against Bobby Ojeda in a similar situation.

He was on third and a high chopper by Alan Ashby, and Ojeda made the tag on Bass at home.

And Fernandez, I think, is going to be the real surprise of this season.

And behind them, Rick Aguilera and now Bob Ojeda over from the Red Sox.

Davey Johnson has some artillery.

It's a nice balance to have those two left-handers, especially when you play the Cardinals and turn those switch hitters around.

Merle Herman bucking in.

Ron Luciano at Yankee Stadium in New York where Bob Ojeda has three outs to go.

He has retired 22 Yankees in a row.

Has not given up a hit.

Cerrone is on his way to second.

And he is in there with a standing double.

The thoughts going through the mind of Bob Ojeda as he watched Evans try to get this ball.

Just missed it.

You can see him at shortstop.

Mel Stottlemyre to the left.

And, of course, that's Davey.
