METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 14, 1991 GAME:

Brooks hit the first of 4 grand slams the Mets would get in 1991 during this pretty easy win. He hit at least one grand slam every year from 1985-89, but had the streak snapped with the Dodgers in 1990. It was his only grand slam he'd hit as a Met, and the 7th of 8 during his career. HoJo also just missed hitting a home run 3 times in this game, flying out to deep left and center, and fouling one down the LF line that missed being fair by about 5 feet. And poor Tim Teufel, he goes 0-for-4 and ends the game hitting .080 for the season but he hits all four balls hard. Just a case of bad luck.

No luck either for Padres starter Eric Nolte. He had an 8.58 ERA over 122.2 innings for the Padres' AAA team in 1990 but for some reason they thought he'd be a good addition to their rotation in '91. Not so much. His ERA jumped to 11.05 with this loss and San Diego released him just 6 days later.

Whitehurst and Schourek combined to make quick work of the Padres offense. Schourek pitched the final 4 innings for the save, and I wanted to see if that was the longest save in team history. Actually, a ton of pitchers have earned 4-inning saves for the Mets, most recently Brian Stokes (remember him?) in 2008. The longest save belongs to Doug Sisk, who earned a 5-inning save vs. the Cardinals in 1983.

In the 7th inning, Padres 3B Scott Coolbaugh grounded a hit down the LF line. The ball stopped near the stands and some kid, probably around 14 or so, jumped over the railing, ran over to the ball, picked it up and jumped back over the railing, forcing a ground-rule double call. I couldn't believe the nerve of this kid, who made it worse as, when security approached him, he looked on with this expression of like, "What did I do wrong? Is that not allowed?" I kept waiting to see if he'd be escorted to the exits but, to my disbelief, it looked as if they let him stay. That really grinds my gears.

The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like Jones.
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.
