Mets acting GM Zack Scott busted on drunk driving charge in White Plains. Scott, 44, was nabbed at 4:17 a.m. Tuesday when cops caught him snoozing in a 2018 Toyota on South Lexington Avenue, near the federal courthouse and police headquarters, the city’s Police Capt. James Spencer said Wednesday.

SNY.TV: Per White Plains Police Capt. James Spencer, who spoke to the Post, Scott refused to give blood or take a breathalyzer test. He took a field sobriety test and failed.

Mike Vaccaro NY Post: Zack Scott’s Mets fate was sealed long before DWI arrest. “But let’s be perfectly clear about something: Zack Scott was already on paper-thin ground as acting GM of the Mets. His job performance alone has been, in a word, unacceptable. The Mets are two games under .500, and while that is the product of some team-wide underperformance, make no mistake: when Scott could have made an impact, at the trade deadline, with the Mets still in command of the NL East, he made one trade.”



NY Post: Lefty Aaron Loup continues to be bullpen stalwart for Mets.

NY Post: Mets hope to carry momentum of doubleheader sweep into September.

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:
Transactions:
New York Mets signed free agent Tito Navarro on September 2, 1987.

New York Mets signed free agent Norichika Aoki on September 2, 2017


1965
During a pregame ceremony at Shea Stadium, the Mets retire Casey Stengel's uniform number 37. The team's first manager, who decided to retire shortly after fracturing his hip at the end of July, compiled a 175-404 record with the expansion team, never finishing higher than in last place.
1972
Coming to bat in the top of the eighth inning trailing 8-0, the Mets score seven runs and add another four tallies in the ninth to stun the Astros, 11-8. The come-from-behind victory is the Amazins' biggest comeback in franchise history.

2008
New York starter Jonathon Niese, who was born on the day the Mets won their last World Championship, makes his major league debut against the Brewers in Miller Park. On his second pitch of the game, the 21 year-old southpaw gives up a home run to Rickie Weeks, making him the first rookie in franchise history to yield a home run to the firstl batter he faces in his career.



1962 - Stan Musial's 3,516th hit jumps him over Tris Speaker and into 2nd place behind Ty Cobb on the all-time list, but the Mets beat the Cards, 4 - 3. Although The Man will continue on to 3,630 hits, he cannot overtake Cobb and, in time, Pete Rose and Hank Aaron will surpass him.

1963: At the Polo Grounds, Pete Rose hits the first pitch of the game from Jay Hook for a homer. It's the only score as the Reds win, 1 - 0. Jim Maloney strikes out 13 Mets in the win.

1966: Phillies ace Jim Bunning continues his whammy over the Mets by shutting them out, 6 - 0. It's Bunning's 8th complete game in as many starts against them, and his 5th shutout. The Mets have scored a total of four runs off Bunning.

Mack’s Mets – Syracuse Mets - Brooklyn Cyclones two years ago today. Brooklyn wins 4-1, wins division, playoff top seed, Cano 0 for 3. Syracuse wins 8-4, forces one game playoff for division, Lowrie 2 for 3.
