METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 13, 1996 GAME:

Dave VW
August 16, 2023
The Mets get 1-hit through 7 innings by bum rookie starter Amaury Telemaco, then try to stage a 9th-inning comeback but fall a run short and lose in another uninspiring performance.

The only things really worth mentioning about this game: Dave Magadan hit his only career home run against the Mets on this night, and Derek Wallace made his major league debut, pitching a scoreless top of the 9th. He had just been called up from AAA Norfolk, where I believe the WGN telecast said he set a team record with 26 saves. Pretty sure it no longer holds up.

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!
