METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JULY 1, 1990 GAME:

Popped this one in the player today. A fun game to watch. What started out as a gorgeous Sunday afternoon at Shea turned into a long rain delay. At this point in the season the Mets were playing simply incredible and were almost unbeatable. The future world champion Reds helped and committed 3 errors, including a throwing error in the 9th to allow the winning run to score.

Michael is right, this was a fun game to watch. Ron Darling was pitching a gem until an hour and a half rain delay struck in the bottom of the sixth. During the delay, WWOR showed a Kiner's Korner interview with home plate umpire Eric Gregg (RIP), which I thought was highly entertaining and unique. When play resumed, the Reds left in starting pitcher Danny Jackson, who induced a double-play ball from Darryl Strawberry but an error by Mariano Duncan loaded the bases with one out. Flame-thrower Rob Dibble relieved and Kevin McReynolds greeted him with an RBI sac fly, giving the Mets a 2-1 lead.

It didn't last though. John Franco, looking for a two-inning save, allowed a run in the ninth, largely thanks to the rain that fell earlier. Joe Oliver hit a liner to left that scored Duncan from first as the ball was kicked around by McReynolds because he kept losing his footing in the outfield. He looked like he was running through a pond with all the water splashing up from his feet. But the Mets responded in the bottom of the frame, as Mackey Sasser blooped a lead-off double down the left field line and Kevin Elster followed with a sac bunt attempt that Ken Griffey Sr., playing a rare game at 1B, threw away looking to get Sasser at third, giving the Mets a wild walk-off win.

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.
