METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 13, 1980 GAME:

The Mets won this game to improve their record to 56-57. Several times during the summer, they got to within a game of .500 but never could reach it. Still they were hanging around the middle of the NL East and fans were truly hopeful under the new ownership.

Unfortunately, after this game, they next lost seven in a row and had a dismal finish of the season to finish 67-95. The only thing that made the end of the 1980 season bearable was that they brought up Mookie, Hubie, and Wally from AAA in September to play everyday.

This was also Joe Torreā€™s last full season as manager as the 1981 season was shortened by the strike.

This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:

Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and we would let it remain.

We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments, and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.
