Mets Know-It-All
July 21, 2019
An interesting thing happened in the fifth inning of this game. With the bases loaded, Wayne Garrett singled to drive home Ken Boswell and put the Mets ahead by a run. Cleon Jones also tried to score on the play, but was out on Rusty Staub's throw to catcher Ron Brand. Jones then started a fight with Brand, whose return punch landed right in the face of umpire Bill Williams. Cleon was thrown out of the game, but Brand wasn't and stayed in the rest of the way. I wonder why Brand didn't get the old heave-ho as well. Obviously, he should have been ejected.

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!
