I remember watching this game on TV at my childhood home (now my current home) - beautiful sunny hot late summer afternoon. At the time, Ron Swoboda was my hero. The Mets loaded the bases (i think Amos Otis was on third), and my father was saying come on Ron, just a single, get two runs in. My friend was over and I was hoping for the granny. I don't remember who was pitching, but Ron swung and hit the ball deep to left center field - there it went over the ball. Absolute delerium in my living room!

Great memory, George. I'd like to point out that in the inning when Ron Swoboda hit his grand slam, Amos Otis laid down a sacrifice bunt and was not on base for it. The three runners were Bud Harrelson, Tommie Agee and Donn Clendenon. Also, the Pirates' pitcher against whom Swoboda slammed was reliever Chuck Hartenstein.

The victory gave the Mets a ten-game winning streak and a division lead of three and one-half games over the Chicago Cubs in the National League East. It was also Tom Seaver's seventh consecutive winning decision and twenty-second of the season.

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.
