METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JUNE 29, 1973 GAME:

July 31, 2020
This was a tight mound duel between Tom Seaver and Rick Reuschel that turned into a mini-battle of solo home runs. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Adrian Garrett (Wayne's brother) homers to break a tie and give the Cubs a 2-1 lead. The Mets tie it again and then go ahead on solo shots by Ken Boswell and John Milner leading off the eighth and ninth, respectively. With the Cubs down to their last out, Gene Hiser connects for the only home run of his major league career to force extra innings. A run in the 10th then gave Chicago the win and dropped the Mets into last place, where they would stay for the next two months.

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!
