METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 8, 1986 GAME:

Jack
July 13, 2000
The first Mets game I ever went to — not the most memorable of debuts. Montreal's Bob Sebra pitched a shutout until the 9th, when Straw hit one out. The game was already long over by then.

When I heard the news of Bob Sebra's death, this game was the thing I thought of first. The Expos' pitcher was on the verge of a complete game shutout when Darryl Strawberry homered for the Mets' only run with two outs in the ninth inning. Sebra then retired the next batter for the win, but still showed some disappointment in not coming away with his first shutout as a major leaguer. Twenty-two days later, he would pitch a two-hitter for a 1-0 shutout victory over the Mets at Olympic Stadium.

RIP, Bob.

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.
