METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 9, 1994 GAME:

With the strike looming, the Mets looked like a team with no interest in the season any more, going through the motions in losing 5-1. They put 8 first-pitch swings in play, including Bonilla and Kent in the 9th. Can't say I blame them for the mentality, but it sucks watching a team you have a rooting interest in just not care at all.

Curt Schilling had a stinker of a year but ended it on a high note by recording a complete game -- his 5th in his first 7 career starts against the Mets. The Mets just couldn't solve him in the early 1990s, and they actually wouldn't get their first win against Schilling until 1996. He only allowed 5 singles and 1 walk, and even snapped Rico Brogna's 15-game hitting streak, which wound up being the longest of his career.

On the other hand, Mike Remlinger was terrible and probably cost himself a shot at being considered for a spot in the starting rotation in 1995 with this performance. He gave up 11 hits, which tied a career high. I believe this was also the last WWOR telecast of the year.

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!
