METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 4, 1963 GAME:

Ed K
February 1, 2005
This game was significant for two reasons. First of all, Roger Craig became the first (and still only) Met pitcher to ever give up FIVE homers in a game on this date. (Shea has been kinder to mediocre Met pitchers than the Polo Grounds was in this regard.) Second, it was the game that started Roger's 18 game losing streak. He went into the game 2-2 and did not win for over three months until August 9th. During the streak he switched his number to 13 for a while.

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!
