METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 15, 1970 GAME:

I'll never forget listening to this game on the radio. Mets are in Atlanta and are leading, 2-1. Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, 2 outs. Tom Seaver is pitching and has two strikes on the batter, Bob Tillman. Seaver throws and Tillman swings (strike 3) but the ball goes past Jerry Grote and to the backstop. Tony Gonzalez scores from third, and somehow Rico Carty also comes in, and the game is over.

(Thanks to Retrosheet for the Atlanta players' names)

I remember hearing that when Jerry Grote threw the ball back to Tom Seaver, and when Seaver covered home plate, the ball passed him and that's how Rico Carty scored from second base.

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.
