METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JUNE 19, 1990 GAME:

Dave VW
July 22, 2022
The Mets were the hottest team in baseball at this point, winners of 10 of their last 13. This win was also the second of a season-long 11-game winning streak. Cone spent most of the first two months of 1990 with an ERA over 6.00 but got it back down to 4.95 with this shutout. Pitching on 9 days rest he was absolutely brilliant, perfect until a fourth inning walk to Ozzie Smith and had a no-hitter intact until Milt Thompson doubled in the fifth. Tim McCarver obviously supplied the jinx as just the batter before he ribbed Kiner and told him in so many words, "I'll say what you're too afraid to say: David Cone has a no-hitter going!" A couple minutes later, that no-no was no-mo.

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!
