METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 20, 1990 GAME:

Sid Fernandez fanned Joe Carter in the first and third innings of this game. These were the 999th and 1,000th strikeouts for Fernandez in his major league career. At Shea Stadium six days later, Sid got Carter again for 1,000 Ks as a Met. What are the chances of a pitcher striking out the same batter to reach a specific mark twice in the same week?

Although Davey Johnson wouldn't be fired until a week after this game, Frank Cashen mentioned in interviews after the official firing that it was after this game against the Padres that he more or less decided it was time for Davey to go. The Mets continued to play amazingly inconsistent baseball on this day, as the offense looked lifeless and the defense was more than generous.

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!
