METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE APRIL 7, 1987 GAME:

This was the game in which Darryl Strawberry wore Gooden's pants in honor of his teammate who was in Smithers institute. I guess they helped him as he hit a 3-run HR in the first inning.

One of only 2 opening days between 1985-1994 that Gooden wouldn't start, this one because of his drug suspension. Ojeda wasn't great on this day, but he was good enough. And the Mets got all the offense they'd need on a first inning homer by Straw.

Orosco would make it interesting in the 9th, putting the tying and go ahead runs on base before finally getting a ground ball to Backman for another opening day Mets win.

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.
