METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 26, 1975 GAME:

I watched this on TV. I guess the only reason this game stands out for me other than Randy Tate actually WINNING a ballgame was that he also WALKED!!! (I swear it's true!!!) It's the only time I remember him as a baserunner. I would like to say it was Dave Freisleben who walked him, but I can't be sure.

In response to the entry from rht, Tate drew a walk leading off the top of the sixth with Padres reliever (and ex-Met) Rich Folkers on the mound. It was the only time that Randy, who was 0-for-41 in his only major league season, got on base without hitting into a force play or reaching on an error. His pitching was the real story of this game. He went the full nine innings (how many pitchers do that anymore?) to record the fifth and final win of his 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.
