How sweep it is. Finally the Mets sweep the evil empire. It felt so good to see all the Yankees fans cry.

Great game-- all I really remember is we were all hoping for a sweep and Wigginton homered, Hidalgo extended his homer streak to 4, and then, when it was tied 5-5, Wigginton stepped up and hit a no-doubter, and, when Looper came in and struck out Giambi, the Mets had swept and I came out with my broom and taunted all the Yankee fans everywhere!

It was the 4th of July and it was great when the Amazin's beat the Bronx Evil Empire. I was on cloud nine and the Yankee fans were NOT happy to see me taunt them because they can dish it out but can't take it. I wish I was at this game but I watched on TV. The next day, me and a friend went to see Spiderman 2 and while waiting on line to get into the theater (I was wearing my black Piazza #31 shirt). A creepy looking guy in Yankee hat saw my Mets shirt and told me "To Take Shirt Off". I told him "I'm NOT Taking **** Off, Pal".

I can't remember what I had for breakfast last week but I can still remember that creepy Yankees fan telling me to take off my METS shirt and hat. He was TOTALLY CREEPY, we're talking "DATELINE NBC-TO CATCH A PREDATOR" creepy and another thing, it's guys like him and many other Stankee fans make me say this all the time "THANK GOD, I'M A METS FAN"!!!!!

Please note:
We're looking for your comments about this specific game. We've had people use this space to share their thoughts on how the current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team. Such comments, unless in the context of this particular game, will be considered off-topic and will be removed.

Example One
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!
