METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 7, 1973 GAME:

Ed K
November 24, 2006
One the greatest and less remembered clutch relief efforts by a Mets pitcher - Tug McGraw. The Mets swept the Expos in a doubleheader in old Jarry Park in their miracle drive to win the division. McGraw came in to get the last out and save the opening game. He then pitched 5.1 scoreless innings to win the 15-inning nightcap.

As Ed K states, Tug McGraw provided more than five innings of relief for the win in this game that finished off a doubleheader sweep during the Mets' eventual drive to the pennant. McGraw also collected two singles of his own, the second of which drove home the Mets' last two runs in the top of the 15th inning. Kudos also to Ray Sadecki, who retired the last two Expos batters with the bases loaded in the bottom half for a clutch save.

The two victories brought the Mets to five games below the .500 mark for the season, but only four games behind the first-place Cardinals in the N. L. East Division.

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.
