METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 27, 1972 GAME:

I enjoyed this entire Sunday afternoon game on television. The Mets put together a solid 14-hit attack against a Braves team that seemed to have their number all season. John Milner got it started with a home run in the first inning and Tom Seaver contributed by slugging a two-run shot of his own in the second. Eight of the Mets' hits went for extra bases in their highest scoring game of the year. Even reliever Danny Frisella got into the act with an RBI single in the top of the ninth. It was a big display of offense that did not come from the Mets too often in those days. Just a great game to watch.

The unfortunate Atlanta starter was Denny McLain, who was in the final season of his once-productive career. McLain lasted up to the third inning in his only appearance ever against the Mets.

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.
