METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 6, 1990 GAME:

The nightcap of the doubleheader this day was almost as exciting as Game 1. After cranking a walk-off homer earlier in the day, Kevin McReynolds played hero again, going deep in the eighth inning to provide the go-ahead run in the Mets' 7-6 win. Interestingly enough, his longball came off southpaw reliever Dan Schatzeder, who the Mets actually acquired from Houston later on during the 1990 season.

Also of note, Gregg Jefferies just missed hitting a home run down the right field line in the third inning, only then to connect for one over the wall in right-center on the very next pitch. Daryl Boston also collected his first hit with New York with a double during the Mets' four-run sixth inning. For Houston, second baseman Ken Oberkfell hit a three-run homer in the fourth -- his only round-tripper of the year and the last of 29 during his 16-year career.

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!
