METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JULY 5, 1971 GAME:

NYB Buff
March 1, 2024
This victory for a doubleheader split was the Mets' only win in July between the start of the month and the All-Star Break. It ended a four-game losing streak and was followed by six consecutive defeats leading up to the Mid-Summer Classic, which was played in Detroit that year. This bad stretch dropped the Mets into third place in the N. L. East Division, ten games behind the Pirates.

Ray Sadecki pitched a very impressive three-hit shutout over the Expos. Sadecki issued no walks and retired the last nineteen Montreal batters. Cleon Jones provided half the scoring with an RBI single and a three-run homer. Also, Duffy Dyer went 3-for-4 and drove in a run.

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!
