I guess this is a forgotten game from the 1973 season. No comments yet. For the first time in Mets history they began the season with a four game winning streak. I was at the game as a kid, which was the second game of the season. A pitcher's duel between Jon Matlack and former Cy Young winner Jim Lonborg. Ed Kranepool pinch-hit for Matlack in the ninth, walked, and Teddy Martinez came in to pinch-run. Willie Mays hit the game-winning single up the middle as Martinez came home with the winning run. A magical start and a magical finish to the 1973 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.

Thank you!
