METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 17, 1983 GAME:

NYB Buff
August 9, 2020
Special moments for both Tom Seaver and Darryl Strawberry came about in this game. For Seaver, he got his 20th win over the Padres as a Mets pitcher after defeating them nineteen times before his trade to Cincinnati six years earlier. The hit that put the Mets ahead to stay and got Tom the win was a three-run homer by Strawberry. This was Darryl's second career home run and first ever at Shea Stadium.

Meanwhile, another big moment in New York sports history took place about thirty miles east of Shea. The Islanders won their fourth consecutive Stanley Cup championship.

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.
