METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 21, 1991 GAME:

Michael
April 27, 2020
El Sid finally ended the Mets 11 game losing streak on the back end of this doubleheader. An 8-0 shutout with homers by Elster, McReynolds and Mark Carreon.

In my opinion, at least with decades of hindsight now, August and September 1991 was the true low point for the franchise in modern times. They literally went from one of the best teams in the NL and competing for a playoff spot in July (on pace for 90 wins in mid-July)....to being one of the worst teams in the sport overnight. No gradual decline to see it coming. Just flat fell off a cliff.

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.

Thank you!
