METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 21, 1971 GAME:

Tom Seaver was my favorite player. I remember how he and Dave Roberts pitched like they were the top two pitchers in the NL. I think Cleon Jones' home run to win the game in the bottom of the ninth hit the top of the wall before going over.

Larry’s Mets Memories

It was Saturday the 21st, possibly a night affair. It was anticipated as a pitchers’ duel: Tom Terrific and SD’s lefty Dave Roberts - 1-2 in the NL in ERA. It didn’t disappoint (in some small part due to the hitting status of both teams.) Exactly 2 hours time, no errors, no pitching changes - vintage MLB. Cleon Jones won it with a walk offer that barely cleared the CF wall, a few yards to the right. I recall telling my Mom “I had a felling.” She agreed! Despite a Mets fan’s long hot summer -a priceless memory.

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.
